Description: A tiny gilt metal locket dating from the late Victorian period, containing a minuscule textile relic of the saint ‘VM Julie’. Relics have long been important to Christians and many other religions and since they were considered more valuable than gold, it was fitting to make their containers celebratory and containing precious metals. Tiny reliquaries like this were designed to be carried during a pilgrimage or procession on saints’ days. Genuine antique pieces with power and history, not only are relics like this precious in themselves, offering comfort and peace to the believing wearer, but they’re extremely collectable too, each being unique. It dates from around 1870 and is in good condition throughout, with some detail wear but no loss or damage. It weighs 2.8 grams and measures 23 x 16 mm. The final photo shows it with a US penny (1 cent) coin for scale, which measures 19 mm / ¾ of an inch diameter.
