Genova, Duomo (Cattedrale di S. Lorenzo), Cappella di San Giovanni Battista:
"Arca delle reliquie di San Giovanni Battista/particolare della predicazione del Battista" (1217/1225 ca.) del Maestro dell’Arca del Battista (Francia, prima metà sec. XIII).
L’urna ha la forma di un edificio religioso ed è concepito in modo da poter essere sollevato per permettere la visione del reliquiario d’argento visibile dal foro centrale a quadrifoglio. Tale reliquiario si ritiene che contenesse le ceneri del Santo, portate a Genova nel 1098.
