Enamelled reliquaries

It is not known when and how these three little caskets became part of the treasure, but they are listed in the inventories of 1818. Partially covered with silver filigree and enamel panels, the decoration is mainly floral. A parrot can be seen on two of the caskets and there is a large monogram of Christ on the third.
