Source Description
This box was a Habsburg secular reliquary. The inscription inside records that it once held the personal pennant of the French king Francis I, taken at his capture in 1525 on the battlefield at Pavia, Italy, after the defeat of the French army by that of Emperor Charles V. The box, made to contain the folded silk pennant, bears the arms of the Habsburg commander Don Juan Lopez Quixada, who captured the pennant (now in the Musée de la Porte de Hal, Brussels).
