Shoe Reliquary, ca. 1350–1400, French or Swiss, Leather and Iron, H: 5 1/4' W: 11 1/4' D: 4 5/8' (13.3 x 28.6 x 11.7cm), Leatherwork, Scenes of the life of Saint Margaret decorate this case, probably intended to hold a reliquary of precious material created for precious remains of the saint. Saint Margaret was particularly invoked for protection by women in childbirth, and it has been suggested that the loop at the back would have allowed the reliquary to be suspended over an expectant woman’s bed.
