Saint Ladislaus' Herma, Medieval reliquary at Cathedral Basilica, Győr, Hungary

The silver bust reliquary contains a fragment of King Saint Ladislaus's skull, with an exposed section at the crown for direct contact.

Created during King Sigismund's reign after a fire destroyed the original wooden reliquary in 1406, the artifact reached Győr through Bishop Demeter Napragi in 1606.

The silver head represents Hungary's third most important religious artifact, alongside the Holy Crown and the Holy Right Hand of Saint Stephen.

The reliquary resides in the Gothic Héderváry Chapel of Győr Cathedral, where visitors can view it during regular cathedral opening hours.

Each year, following a 1762 earthquake survival tradition, the reliquary processes through downtown Győr streets in a ceremonial parade.
