Ciborium, Hexagonal

The object consists of a foot, stem, box, and lid, mostly made of sheet metal parts. The parts of the stem above and below the nodus, the connecting pieces of the stem to the foot and box, as well as the horizontal edges along the box and lid are cast. The stem is attached to the foot with three rivets. In the bottom of the box, six rivets are placed in the center and twelve along the sides. The lid is hinged to the box and has a turn-lock. The foot tapers into six lobes decorated with leaf ornament. Its middle part has an acolyte profile in cross-section. The stem, nodus, box, and lid are built up of six planes. The nodus is provided with six facets decorated with knobs, six stylized leaves at the top and six at the bottom. The transition from stem to box widens upwards and has a high decoration on the meeting lines of the six planes. The lid is provided with a raised border of acanthus leaves and ends in a knob, the cross of which is broken.
