Small book-shaped RELIQUARY made of tortoiseshell, revealing a rich arrangement of red, blue, and gold paper medallions (St. Felicis, St. Timothy, etc.). 19th century. 8 x 5.5 x 1.5 cm. Small chips. Note: This item is made of marine tortoiseshell (Chelonioidea spp., Category I/A) from before the Convention, predating July 1, 1947, and is therefore compliant with EC Regulation 338/97 of December 9, 1996, Article 2-Wmc. Its sale is therefore authorized without a certificate within the European Union. For any potential export outside the EU, it is the responsibility of the prospective buyer to check with the customs authorities of the relevant country prior to any purchase, as a CITES re-export permit will be required; the cost and responsibility for obtaining this permit rest with the prospective buyer.
