Reliquary
Reliquary by Artist Unknown. The object is ornate with a predominantly blue and gold color scheme. A square base supports a smaller, inverted trapezoidal section. The base features a pattern of blue, white, and gold around the sides and top edge. A short, railing-like structure is on top. A bulbous, vase-like section with a large opening on one side is on top. The vase-like section features an ornate gold design on a blue background. Two curved gold embellishments are on either side. A ridged cylinder connects to a gold crown-like piece at the top. The background is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
