Gorgeous locket in a shape of a triangle decorated with flower motives. The piece has a puppet and two boots as pendants in its lower section. The edges of the triangle have engraved details as well as its back side. The locket opens from the top and allows the storage of small items inside; the piece has a ring for a lace. Reliquary lockets were treasured by their owners as souvenirs of pilgrimages, used as amulets and talismans, and given to the images of favorite saints as votive offerings. Lockets were used as devotional items to inspire and comfort believers. During Colonial Times these lockets evolved into a unique genre of devotional jewelry and artistic expression.
