<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DragonflyWink, post: 1649080, member: 111&quot;]I think it&#039;s something to be looked at by an expert, one experienced in Medieval or Renaissance and/or ecclesiastical silver, believe very few people have experience with something like this.&nbsp; Seems like there should be some sort of history to be found somewhere - are you able to contact the heirs for any provenance?</p><p><br /></p><p>Don&#039;t believe you&#039;ve addressed the question of a compartment for the relic, without that dedicated space for the precious bit, it pretty much denies &#039;reliquary&#039;.&nbsp; Don&#039;t see any issue with the lettering style, same as you&#039;d see in illuminations of the supposed era, yet it somehow looks odd - the &#039;Sancta&#039; would be Latin rather than Spanish, and the piece could as easily be Italian or French (for what it&#039;s worth, the mark reminded me of a worn crown *shrug*)</p><p><br /></p><p>Believe I have at least one book here on Renaissance silver, can take a look later on, but that&#039;s all I&#039;ve got - it is a pretty thing...</p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
