[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 306289, member: 2844"]The pieces of textile are the relics or are bags containing the relics. The names are in German, Latin and what looks like Polish. The German spelling of the names Konrad and Franz is also used in Polish. Latin names would have been familiar to most Roman Catholics in the 19th century, and Poland was/is a very Roman Catholic country.
