The Holy Thorn Reliquary
Made to display a thorn, supposedly from the Crown of Thorns worn by Christ at the Crucifixion. The reliquary was made in Paris around 1400 for Jean, duc de Berry (1340 - 1416). It was listed as being in the Viennese treasury of the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V in 1544. In 1860 it was sent to Salomon Weininger for repair. He returned a replica. The original was later acquired by Baron Ferdinand's father. Details of the forgery and substitution only surface in the 1920s.
