Monstrance, anonymous, c. 1550 Canvas Print

The object consists of the following cast parts: the foot, which passes into the lower half of the trunk, the nodus, the upper part of the trunk, the bottom of the container, the holder for the host (the lunula), the frame for the glass cylinder, the two vertical connecting pieces (buttresses), the spire. The six-lobed foot extends into a wide flat edge. It passes upwards into the six-plane trunk, on which the hollow six-faceted nodus is mounted, and then into the six-plane gradually widening trunk section, on which the cylinder is placed. The two cylinder frames have edges, consisting of finials. Each buttress has a curl decorated with hoists at the bottom. They end up in pinnacles. Inwards, the buttresses have a border of rings. The spire is flat and round at the bottom, it has a notch. The buttresses have been restored at the foot. Some pinnacles are missing. So is the glass cylinder and the crowning, in the form of a cross.
