Cleveland Museum of Art

Bust reliquary of St. Louis, Bishop of Toulouse by an unknown artist. The bust depicts a male figure with a neutral expression. He has a smooth face with rosy cheeks and a small nose. The figure wears a large mitre on his head, which is decorated with gold, jewels, and ornate designs. The mitre is shaped like a pointed roof. He also wears a black robe with a wide, gold-trimmed collar. A gold clasp with a jewel in the center secures the robe at the chest. The background of the image is gray, transitioning from dark at the top to light at the bottom.
