@Rosaliesmedievalwoman That's beautiful! I was going to ask if the lamb slides into the frame but see you've already posted great images at https://rosaliegilbert.com/thegilbertcollection_reliquaries.html

@ClaireFromClare@h-net.social cheers! The other one I've seen had glass and a piece of cloth inside it, which is very special. I'm happy to have this one!
