San Rossore Reliquary
The San Rossore Reliquary is a 1424-1427 gilded bronze sculpture by Donatello. The monks of Ognissanti, Florence had acquired the skull of Saint Luxorius (popularly known in Pisa as 'san Rossore') in 1422 and two years later they commissioned the reliquary to house it. The sculpture arrived in Pisa in 1591 and is now in the city's Museo nazionale di San Matteo.
