Silver talisman ring with mounted otolith. On the ring, inscription of part of the trisagion: AGIOS+O T[H]EOS+AT[H]ANA[TOS] (Holy and Immortal God). HR hallmark of a master subscriber. Southeastern France, second half of the 18th century H. 3 cm - L. 2.4 cm - W. 1.8 cm (slight deformation of the ring in conformity with the original model) This ring reproduces the pastoral ring reputed to have belonged to Saint Peter of Tarentaise (fig.). This holy abbot, founder of the Abbey of Tamié, was a Cistercian monk born in 1102 at Saint-Maurice-l'Exil (Isère) and died on September 14, 1174 at Bellevaux in Franche-Comté. His tomb soon became a popular place of pilgrimage, and the many miracles performed there led Pope Celestine III to canonize the abbot in 1191. Among the relics that pilgrims came to venerate at Bellevaux were his mitre, chalice and ring. After revolutionary looting, the relics were dispersed among several churches. The ring was collected by the Archbishopric of Besançon and handed over to the Abbey of Tamié, which the saint had founded, and which therefore already preserved several of his relics. Master subscribers were silversmiths residing in towns without a jurande or Bureau de la Marque. In order to avoid costly and dangerous travel each time they had to apply a charge or discharge hallmark, they were authorized to contract with the Fermier an annual subscription to the rights of the Mark, fixed at a flat rate and payable annually or by quarter, based on their estimated production. In this way, they applied their hallmark twice. Book consulted: - "Notes sur quelques objets trouvés dans la châsse de saint Pierre en Tarentaise" in Annuaire du Doubs, 1881, pp. 74-75
