Made of silver-plated bronze, our antique monstrance rests on a circular base engraved with the Holy Shroud and the instruments of the Passion.
The ovoid knot is decorated with plants. The bowl is surmounted by a baldachin with fluted columns supported by angels and above which are four holy figures.
The dome of the canopy is topped by an ethereal representation of Christ.
A fine work, probably German, from the late 17th or early 18th century.
Dimensions 37 cm by 12 cm in diameter, an interesting hidden symbolism as 37 in gematria is the number of Wisdom and 12 refers to both the Old Testament and the New Covenant.
Good condition
