This black and white engraving depicts two reliquary chests from the Cathedral of Our Lady in Tournai, Belgium. The chests, likely made before 1887, are adorned with intricately carved figures and architectural details, reflecting the Gothic style popular in the 13th century. Each chest features compartments, suggesting they housed precious relics. While the artist remains anonymous, their craftsmanship is evident in the detailed representation of these sacred vessels, a testament to the enduring reverence for religious artifacts in medieval Europe.
