Reliquary in the Shape of an Arm in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, September 2018
Arm Reliquary
13th century, with 15th century additions
Object Details
Date: 13th century, with 15th century additions
Culture: French
Medium: Silver, silver-gilt, glass and rock crystal cabochons over wood core
Dimensions: Overall: 20 5/16 x 6 1/4 x 2 15/16in. (51.6 x 15.8 x 7.4cm)
Classification: Metalwork-Silver
Credit Line: Gift of J. Pierpont Morgan, 1917
Accession Number: 17.190.353
Glistening silver, rock crystal, and glass gems enliven this reliquary in the form of an arm raised in a gesture of blessing. Emblematic of priestly authority, arm reliquaries were placed at the altar and also processed among the faithful. A parchment tag behind the rock crystal and an engraved cuff at the wrist indicate that the relics contained were of Saint Fiacre. The city of Meaux in France possessed the lion's share of his relics, but the provenance of this reliquary has not been confirmed.
