Reliquary bust of a Saint (probably Dominic)

The relics in this bust were not meant to be seen. The medallion on its chest depicts Saint Dominic with his attributes: a crucifix, a star, and a dog holding a torch in its mouth. The domini canis or Dog of the Lord was a play on word with Dominicanus, the Latin name for a member of the Dominican Order, which the saint founded.此件半身像所搭载的圣物本非为供人所见。其胸前的饰章刻画了圣多米尼克及其标志性象征物：十字架、星辰，与一口衔火炬的犬只。"domini canis"（意为“主的犬”）是与"Dominicanus"的文字双关——后者为多明我会成员的拉丁称谓，而该修会正是由圣多米尼克所创立。
