Reliquary Bust of Saint Juliana 1371 - 1381

This reliquary bust of Saint Juliana was crafted by Italian artist Giovanni di Bartolo between 1371 and 1381. Made of wood and painted with gesso, it is an example of the artist's characteristically refined and delicate style. The bust is adorned with a gilded metal crown and neckpiece, adding an element of grandeur. The bust is a testament to the rich artistic tradition of 14th-century Italy and provides a glimpse into the reverence for saints during this era.
