Reliquary #1


The first in a proposed series of reliquaries, elaborate vessels designed to hold small precious objects. The top lifts off to reveal a smaller interior container, also with a lid, to hold a ring or other small item. Both the inner and outer vessels were turned from the same piece of coco bolo. The vessel is supported by brass pins. It's 15"Hx5"diameter.


Design or Plan used: My own design - Alan Carter
