Description
Material: Bronze and Enamel. Accession no: HCM 080. Current Location: The Hunt Museum, Limerick.
A 13th century Limoges reliquary chasse in enamelled bronze. The front shows the murder of St Martial who was one of the patron saints of Limoges, and the ends with figures of saints standing between roundels. Both the back of the chasse and of the lid show enamelled roundel decoration, while the front of the lid shows Christ in Majesty in a circle flanked by angels. At a later date (c.15th century), crocketed gables and pierced roof-cresting were added, plus lion feet to support the crocketed sideposts on which it stood. More.
