Title |
Reliquary Shrine with the Adoration of the Magi |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Description |
English: The front of the shrine shows the Three Magi on horseback and, below, they present their gifts, seen here as elaborate containers that resemble small reliquaries, to Mary and the Christ Child. A standing saint is represented on each end, while on the back the opening to the shrine is formed by the lower panel, fitted with a lock. This lock and key system kept the relics safely preserved from both over-eager pilgrims and ambitious thieves. |
