This is part of a set of Arabic pieces most likely crafted in the lands of Al-Andalus which later arrived in La Seu d’Urgell, where they were reused as reliquaries. It is a spherical receptacle whose decoration reproduces the caliphal theme of the ‘string of eternity’ along with zoomorphic representations.
