The Silver Filigree and Rock Crystal Reliquary in the Hermitage, St Petersburg Museum.

11.5 x 17 x 10.5 cms.

Transferred from the state services cabinet of the Winter Palace in 1789.

Described as "Rectangular chestwith cover on feetwith crystal pieces on the sides and cover"

.............................

For comparison - the Gothic filigree on this chest has some similarities with the base of the gold reliquary above - but I don't think they are related.
