The foot of the round monstrance has a straight-walled base. It is composed of a concave tapering section above which is an arched constricted section. Along the underside of the arched section and around its narrowest point run cable borders, in opposite directions. The egg-shaped nodus, the lower part of which is decorated with knops, rests on a profiled, tapering pedestal; above this a spindle-shaped section, articulated by a cable border, above this again a cable border, flanked by profiles, then a concave tapering section upon which rests the arched cup. The lower part of the cup is set in a counter-cup, decorated with knops above which is an openwork gallery of pointed arches, closed at the top by a file border. The cup is gilded on the inside. On the foot a cross is engraved.
