What is in Joan of Arc's reliquary box?
What is in St. Joan of Arc's Reliquary?
According to the site below there is no reliquary box.
All of St. Joan's first class relics are now destroyed or lost forever. Joan's ashes were gathered together and burned a second time and the remaining dust was tossed into a river to prevent the gathering of relics.
All of St. Joan's reliable second class relics have been destroyed, such as the clothing and armor she wore. What remains is disputed and remains in the hands of junk dealers passing themselves off as dealers in antiquities.
Three of St. Joan's letters remain at the locations to which they were addressed. Also, a few statues and crucifices before which she prayed still exist in the churches and chapels where they were displayed. These are the only reliable third class relics of St. Joan of Arc that exist, and even then, due to restoration efforts, their authenticity may have degraded somewhat. For example, art restorers would have been hired to create really good fakes of these works so the originals could be transported elsewhere.
Thus, St. Joan of Arc has neither a reliquary nor anything to place in it. What she had was either destroyed when she was killed, or destroyed during wars and revolutions, or had been repaired or replaced to a condition of unreliability.
What did Joan of Arc hold while she was on the stake?

What new weapon of war was in the movie Joan of Arc?
Toward the latter part of the Hundred Years War, when Joan of Arc came into the
picture, gun powder weapons were becoming much more common. They were usually cannons of different sizes and even hand-held primitive rifle-like weapons.
The French seemed to have more gun powder weapons than the English, who
still used primarily long bows and cross bows. The English did have some cannons,
however, and one almost killed the Duc D'Alencon at the battle of Jargeau in June,
1429. Joan saved his life by telling him, "to move from that place, or that engine on the castle wall will kill you." D'Alencon moved, and a few seconds later
another French soldier moved to where D'Alencon had just been standing and was
decapitated by the very cannon Joan had just pointed out.

Joan of Arc had a banner made for her at the same time as her suit of armor.
It was done by a Scotsman at Tours and showed Jesus holding the world with an
angel on each side. The rest of it was all white with the fleur de lys of France on it.
Joan much preferred to carry her beautiful white banner into battle rather than
her sword because she "did not want to kill anyone". She often waved it in battle
to inspire her troops to charge.
For saving France from being conquered by the English.
