Finely engraved bronze reliquary resting on a six-pointed star base.
The shaft is decorated with an olive bearing six painted enamel medallions likely representing saints or apostles.
The rectangular mount is adorned with an elegant engraved diamond pattern and topped with a crenellated frieze typical of the Flamboyant Gothic style.
In the center, a circular opening with scalloped edges was intended to display a relic or a host, recalling that at the time, monstrance and monstrance referred to the same object used interchangeably, and that our two sacred elements were almost always found together.
The work of a French or Flemish workshop.
Used condition - old patina - missing enamels, one pinnacle, a cross-like top section, and the two panes.
