Abstract: This container has been determined to be a pocket shrine due to the cross as an indicator of Christianity and its similarity to other pocket shrines. These can also be known as personal shrines or travel shrines. Most likely carved of bone, the shrine is composed of two cylindrical sections that fit together, one inside the other. The inner section includes the base of the shrine, and has a rectangular opening to display a religious figure that would be housed within, such as the Virgin Mary. In this case however the figure is absent. The outer section fits on top and also has a rectangular opening; when the base is rotated, the figure within could be revealed or obscured. A cross has also been carved out of the material at the top.
