Description: **IMPORTANT: The relic is sold AS IS with accessible sacred material, in accordance with its current state. By purchasing you acknowledge the state of the relic as open.** **No returns will be accepted on the basis of this open relic status.** This rare, early 20th-century relic, crafted in gilded bronze, holds an extraordinary piece of Christian history. Inscribed in Latin with “Ex Altari Ligneo di San Pietro apostolo,” the relic contains a fragment believed to be from the altar of Saint Peter, revered as the first Pope and an apostle of Jesus Christ. The sacred material, possibly marble, stone, or wood, is housed in an exquisite bronze reliquary adorned with golden scrollwork and intricate silver filaments, showcasing meticulous craftsmanship. An intact Episcopal wax seal and original red silk threads are still visible on the reverse, though the silk threads no longer seal the relic, allowing the sacred material to be accessible. This unique condition is clearly demonstrated in the accompanying photographs, which serve as part of the item’s description. A truly significant artifact, this relic offers a tangible connection to Saint Peter and would make a profound addition to any collection of sacred objects.
