Enamelled Reliquary

Post by dognose »

Hi,

I've been sent some images and I hope someone can cast some light on this enamelled, what I presume to be, reliquary:

Perhaps this should have been placed in the European Jewelry section, but as it may have use other than that of adornment I thought I'll post it here.

Any thoughts appreciated.
