Description	Topkapi Palace. Reliquary of a silver hand and forearm containing a hand bone from John the Baptist. The reliquary is shaped to recall John's hand in blessing over Jesus during the latter's baptism in the Jordan. Dr. Keefe acknowledges she was not supposed to take this photograph, and also notes there were many relics of Mohammed in the same treasury.
