Description
English: Reliquary casket, Saint Eldrade
  • Novalesa, Province of Turin, Region Piedmont, Italy

This reliquary casket was discovered along with other precious small artifacts in 1998, when the reliquary shrine of Saint Eldrade preserved in the parish church of Novalesa was opened. Novalesa goes back to the founding of the monastery of the same name by Waldelenus in the year 726.

The reliquary consists in its core of rectangular wooden slats that are covered with small plates of bone. The outermost vertical slats on the long sides are somewhat longer so that the reliquary stands on four feet. A hatch is worked into one of the long sides through which the casket can be opened. The large number of reliquaries documents that the cult of saints was quite popular in Lombard Italy.

  • Photographed while on display from 22 August 2008 to 11 January 2009 in the exhibition "Die Langobarden. Das Ende der Völkerwanderung" at the Rheinisches LandesMuseum Bonn. On loan from the Museo di Arte Religiosa Alpina, Novalesa (Sistema museale diocesano della Valle di Susa).
Deutsch: Bursenreliquiar, Sant'Eldrado
  • Novalesa, Provinz Turino, Region Piemonte, Italien

Das Reliquiar wurde zusammen mit anderen kostbaren Kleinfunden 1998 bei der Öffnung des Reliquienschreins von Sant'Eldrado entdeckt, der in der Pfarrkirche von Novalesa aufbewahrt wird. Novalesa geht auf die Gründung des gleichnamigen Klosters von Waldelenus im Jahr 726 zurück.

Das Reliquiar besteht im Kern aus rechteckigen Holzleisten, die mit Beinplättchen besetzt sind. Jeweils die äußeren vertikalen Leisten der Langseiten sind etwas länger gearbeitet, so dass das Reliquiar auf vier Füßchen steht. In eine der Längsseiten ist eine Klappe eingearbeitet, durch die das Kästchen geöffnet werden kann. Die Vielzahl der Reliquiare belegt, dass sich Heiligenkulte im langobardischen Italien großer Beliebtheit erfreuten.
