Summary
| Description |
English: The Holy Thorn Reliquary is an reliquary probably created in the 1390s in Paris for John, Duke of Berry to house a relic of the Crown of Thorns. It has been in the British Museum since 1898, when it was bequeathed by Ferdinand de Rothschild.[1] It is one of a small number of major goldsmith's works or "joyaux" that survive from the extravagant world of the courts of the Valois royal family around 1400. It uses the technique of enamelling en ronde bosse, or 'in the round', creating three-dimensional figures, mostly in the recently developed white enamel. |
