It is currently located at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Reliquaries are objects that contain sacred relics, often used for religious devotion and display. This small but exquisite example of a reliquary cross is indicative of the detailed and artistic skill of goldsmiths during the 17th century.
