Reliquary with Lucrezia Borgia’s HairAlessandro Francesco Ravasco

This ornate reliquary (1728) preserves a lock of hair attributed to Lucrezia Borgia. Framed in malachite and adorned with delicate silverwork, the object embodies Baroque fascination with relics and the eternal memory of powerful women. It transforms physical remnants into symbols of mythic legacy.
