Galerie Le jardin Des Moines presents an interesting reliquary in the form of this polychromed, round-bosse carved wooden group, mounted on an octagonal terrace.
Saint Francis, dressed in a gown, arms outstretched, is taken up to heaven by two angels. This depiction reminds us that he received the stigmata from an angel.
On his bust, a small central alcove protected by a glass capsule, houses an ex-ossibus relic of our holy man.
Italian work from the 17th century
Dimensions 45 cm by 24 cm wide and 10 cm deep.
Very good condition, with only minor missing parts.
