This drawer complements the selection of objects presented in Showcase no. 22, dedicated to the Bar Confederation and the strong conservative and religious sentiments growing at the same time among the Polish nobility.
The main motif presented in the drawer is the image of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception on items related to the army.
It is also an opportunity to see one of the gorgets from the inside, enriched with painted images of saints, and a rare example of a gorget from the 19th century, with a box for documents, perhaps used in the independence conspiracy.
