    Ok Gang, here goes.... Kinda sad tho. It appears by the indention in the paper on the backside in the center of the pomegranate that there was once a relic or piece of something in the center but is now gone..:-( Nothing else inside. One person who is selling several reliquaries thought that the style represented a 18th century reliquary likely made in Spain... Interesting even if the relic is gone.

    Hey there STracci, I posted pics of the inside of the reliquary... kinda sad as it appears the relic once in there is gone. Too bad.. Oh well, you can check them out below.

    Thanks for the photos! We all love this kind of thing.
    It needed to be opened, just in case there was another copy of the Magna Carta in there.....
