A set of art objects from the mid-eighteenth century, used for storing the oil of St. Walburga, are indeed rare in Hungarian collections. A liquid flowed from the tomb of this abbess, who was little known in Hungary. Because of its medicinal properties, this liquid was collected, stored, and transported in small containers to distant lands.
