Reliquary in the form of a forearm (arm reliquary). In the middle of the corpus is a glass cylinder housing the relics, surrounded by four high balusters supporting figures of St. John the Baptist, St. Barbara, and two holy women. The hand holds a sphere with a pillar of fire rising from it.
The burning sphere or pillar of fire is said to have been sent by God in exchange for the life of Blessed Czesław, causing panic among the Mongol troops in 1241. Hexagonal, stepped plinth supported on spherical feet, decorated with winged angel heads and strapwork ornament.
Inscription: Engraved inscription around the cuff: “Os hoc cubiti ex tumba B. Ceslai desumtum et ā P: Priore ad S. Adalb: Bem: Neugebauer Sermo Epo Franc…”.
Marks: City mark: letter ‘W’ in an oval (Wrocław); Maker’s mark: letters ‘FN’ in an oval (Fabian Nitsch, 1574–1630); Prussian tax mark from 1809–1812.
