The shrines were two-piece, and could be shut together to preserve the artwork. Miniature buddhas and goddesses could be carried in small lacquer cases carried on the wrist. In Tibet, shrines called gau are worn as jewelry. The mikoshi is a Japanese type of portable shrine used mostly during Shinto religious festivals called matsuri. Christian Europe The Monymusk Reliquary is an eighth-century Scottish reliquary made of wood and metal characterized by an Insular fusion of Gaelic and Pictish design and Anglo-Saxon metalworking, probably by Ionan monks. It is now in the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh. It is characterised by a mixture of Pictish artistic designs and Irish artistic traditions (perhaps first brought to Scotland by Irish missionaries in the sixth century), fused with Anglo-Saxon metalworking techniques, an artistic movement now classified as Insular or Hiberno-Saxon art. The casket is wooden, but is covered with silver and copper-alloy. A particularly well-preserved portable shrine, the Shrine of the Three Kings in the Cologne Cathedral, is archetypal of the Romanesque style of reliquaries. The shrine is about 43 inches (110 cm) wide, 60 inches (153 cm) high, and 87 inches (220 cm) long. It is modeled after a basilica. Two sarcophagi stand next to each other, with the third sarcophagus resting on their roof ridges. The great gilt-copper and enamel Reliquary Shrine of Saint Eleutherius in the cathedral of Tournai (Belgium), one of the masterpieces of Gothic metalwork, was commissioned by Bishop Walter de Marvis of Tournai, and completed in 1247, on the occasion of the retranslation of relics of Saint Eleutherius of Tournai, traditionally the city's first bishop. The shrine takes the architectural form of a chasse or gabled casket. Modern period Colonial period Nichos originated as a popular adaptation of the Roman Catholic retablo tradition of painting patron saints on wood or tin. Unlike the large, flat panels of retablo, nichos are small and built in shadow box style. Common structural conventions include hinged doors, carved borders, and multiple panels. Within the box there is a key object or central figure for whose honor or memory the nicho has been created. Nichos are usually painted with striking colors, often contrasting bright and dark, and tend towards garish. In addition to painted designs, nichos are decorated with all variety of images and objects from religious and popular culture.
