Description

Galerie Le Jardin Des Moines presents a beautifully polychromed and gilded wooden reliquary, carved in the round, that is imposing to say the least.
In addition to its age and the finesse of its construction, it features a configuration that is, if not unique, then extremely rare: the association of a double bust side by side.
United for eternity, they are Saint-Sébastien and Saint Janvier, expressive and solemn.
Our holy bishop bears the palm of martyrdom and is a contemporary of Sebastian. Both were persecuted during Diocletian's great persecution.
The first in 288 and the second in 305. The attribute of the palm and the geographical and temporal proximity suggest that this is indeed Saint Janvier.
Under the busts, two reliquary niches are inserted at terrace level.
Italian work - Naples region, late 17th century,
The dimensions are considerable: 75 cm high, 99 cm long and 39 cm deep.
Good condition and restorations
