Christ Enthroned with Saints

Description

According to the inscription, this well-preserved reliquary panel was painted for the monastery of San Sebastiano in Rome and originally included relics of a number of saints. The recess that enclosed these relics has now been filled with a filigree tondo dating from about 1500. The panel was mounted on another object, perhaps a crucifix. From around 1325, it was produced early in Daddi’s career.
