      rel·i·quar·y

  n. pl. rel·i·quar·ies - A receptacle, such as a coffer or shrine, for keeping or displaying sacred relics.


"What is that box thing on your desk?"
"Oh, nothing. I just bought the left tibia of St. Peter on ebay....no big"


The Reliquary is a PC keyboard housed in an ornate, brass-banded wooden box with a removable beveled, stained-glass lid and a fold-down front panel revealing a padded wrist rest.

This particular keyboard was ordered with the keys from my "Alchemist" keyboard.


One of my clients wanted something different for their Reliquary and rather than put the detachable lid on a shelf when not in use, he asked me to build it into a fun desktop toy. After tossing a few ideas around, we eventually decided on this large array of gears which spins using a removable, antique clock-winding key.
