Description: The Holy Thorn Reliquary by John Cherry Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description This book explores the meaning and history of this fascinating object, and tells the tale of its remarkable survival and eventual passage to the British Museum. Publisher Description Made in gold and enamel and decorated with precious stones, the Holy Thorn Reliquary depicts the salvation of mankind through the sacrifice of Christ. It was commissioned around 1400-10 by Jean duc de Berry, a member of the French royal family, to house a single thorn from the relic of Christs Crown of Thorns. Having left the dukes possession, it was recorded in Vienna from around 1544 until the 1860s, eventually being acquired by a member of the wealthy Rothschild family, with its true identity remaining undiscovered until the twentieth century. This book explores the meaning and history of this fascinating object, and tells the tale of its remarkable survival and eventual passage to the British Museum.
