Chest of Saint Simeon
The Chest of Saint Simeon or Saint Simeon's Casket ((クロアチア語:Srebrna raka sv. Šime'' or ''Škrinja sv. Šimuna)) is a rectangular cedarwood sarcophagus in the shape of a ''chasse'', overlaid with silver and silver-gilt plaques; it is located over the main altar in the Church of Saint Simeon in Zadar, Croatia. The chest, considered a masterpiece of medieval art and also a unique monument of the goldsmith's craft of the age, is one of the most interesting works in gold in Europe now under the protection of UNESCO.〔
The cult of St. Simeon, the story of how the queen stole the finger of today Zadar's patron saint, or ''gonfaloniero'' as the locals call it,〔Wingfield, William Frederic (2007). ''(A Tour in Dalmatia, Albania, and Montenegro with an Historical Sketch of the Republic of Ragusa, from the earliest times down to its final fall )'', Cosimo classics travel & exploration, New York. pp. 56. ISBN 1-60206-288-9〕 and the donation of a magnificent shrine to atone for the stealing of the saint's finger surely illustrates not only the political aspect orchestrated by the Angevins amid the people's belief in the authenticity of Zadar's body over the one kept in Venice, but also the high level of development and quality in goldsmithing during the second half of that fourteenth century feudal society.
The top of the chest containing the mumified body of the silver-crowned bearded saint enclosed behind a sheet of transparent glass is elevated above the main altar and displayed to the public, as well as its interior full of precious gifts given by Elizabeth of Bosnia, every year on 8 October, at 8:30 a.m.〔Višnja Arambašić, Nataly Anderson, Frank Jelinčić, Tocher Mitchell (2007).
