Relicario Santa Ana

Human: Sculpture-relicary representing a bust of Saint Anne. Captured as an older woman, dressed in pink tunic and brown cloak, lined with green, both richly upholstered with floral and geometric motifs. The hat covering her head, light-colored and striped with horizontal stripes, mimics Hebraic textiles. A hollow space on her chest opens to reveal a relic case -originally likely holding a fragment related to this saint-, surrounded by curved "s" ribbons, similar to Sevillian tarjas from the early 17th century. The naturalistic interest in the face, treatment of clothing folds with some dynamism, and hand and facial mobility tell us that this sculpture belongs to the Baroque sculpture of Seville from the early 17th century.
