For goldsmiths, the thirteenth-century stauroteca, the Holy Cross, made by French goldsmiths with gilded silver filigree and the reliquary bust of St. Ursula, engraved and chiseled with enamels and precious stones of Rhenish manufacture from the fourteenth century. To these are added precious reliquaries, monstrances with enamels and other goldsmiths of great manufacturing quality.
