A historic Catholic relic attributed to Saint Clare of Assisi (1194–1253), the founder of the Order of Poor Ladies, now known as the Poor Clares.

This devotional object is accompanied by an original ecclesiastical certificate issued in Bari, Italy, on 15 June 1939, under the authority of Marcellus Mimmi, Archbishop of Bari.

The handwritten text identifies the relic as ex sacris ossibus Sanctae Clarae Assisiensis Virginis — a relic described in the certificate as originating from the sacred bones of Saint Clare of Assisi, Virgin.

The relic is preserved in a small, round wooden reliquary with a glazed front, decorative gold-coloured trim and a traditional identification label reading S. Clarae As. V. Its compact size and original documentation make it an appealing piece for collectors of historic Catholic devotional objects and ecclesiastical memorabilia.
