Victorian Memento Mori Hair Art Wreath Shadow Box Reliquary shop2024 PLATE LXI: Pelvis and RegionHere is a lovely antique memento mori hair work reliquary fashioned in the shape of a cross with five labeled compartments housing bits of religious artifacts. Please note that a piece of the decoration on the top part of the cross has come detached and is loose inside the shadow box. It would be simple to repair, but I have decided to leave the shadow box sealed, rather than open it. Dimensions: 5. 5" W x 7. 5" H x 1. 25" D
