The inscription on the cross is common of a Saint Benedict Medal > _Eius in obitu nostro praesentia muniamur_ > May we be strengthened by his presence in the hour of our death > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Benedict_Medal And the person in Biblical Dress is probably St. Benedict of Nursia, the founder of the Benedictine Order, an ancient order of religious brothers from Italy. --- Unless the liquid contained in it was blood, it's likely as not that it contained Holy Water. It might well be a 3rd degree relic (i.e. a sacramental touched to a 1st degree relic), but it's clearly a sacramental of some sort (i.e. a blessed item; not something that should be sold). I wouldn't think there'd be any reason to have an _unblessed_ container of liquid in a holy medal.
