Like the relic of a piece of cloth worn by Christ during the washing of his feet, this cloth relic is kept in a table reliquary. The two counterparts are formally of the same design, but the engraving on the back of the reliquary shows the Last Supper and thus indicates the relic stored in it: a piece of the tablecloth from the Last Supper. In 1518, the Nuremberg City Council commissioned the two reliquaries. The names of the commissioners can be found on the inside of the respective foot: Anton Tucher, Hieronymus Ebner and Martin Geuder. Although there is no artist’s signature, the Nuremberg hallmark and a note in the city accounts mention one of the most important Nuremberg workshops of the time – the Krug family. Therefore, Hans Krug the younger was probably the creator of this goldsmith’s work (Cloth Reliquary, n.d.)
