When was it made?
This statue was made c. 1250-1275, the contained relic dates to the 4th century, and the fabric around the relic is undated. The statue's dating is derived from its similarities to other French reliquaries made at this time. The relic tube bears remnants of a kind of enamel that was at the height of its popularity in the late 1200s. The base of the statue also bears a striking resemblance to another reliquary base from the same time and place, also in the collection of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts.
