It would be interesting to know how a given reliquary got from church to museum. For the church, St Jerome's left thumb was presumably more valuable than the thing that housed it, so if a british collector offered good money for the reliquary they might be willing to sell it provided they could keep the thumb. Or was a housing bought with relic included, which latter was then thrown out because it was yucky?
