Description
The relics in this bust were not meant to be seen. The medallion on its chest depicts Saint Dominic with his attributes: a crucifix, a star, and a dog holding a torch in its mouth. The domini canis or "Dog of the Lord" was a play on word with Dominicanus, the Latin name for a member of the Dominican Order, which the saint founded.
