Inventory number: CVH 338/9a
Bollaert & Moortgat

Design for a richly decorated reliquary, probably for a bishop, considering the mitre depicted in the centre front. At the top is the bust of a male figure wearing a cross around his neck. The left and right halves of the tomb show small differences as to design. A scale indication is given at the bottom.
