Monstrance
From the collection of Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. Free to download, adapt and use — no permission needed.
The object is built up of parts, which are chased, hammered, cast, or forged, and which are attached by soldering, brazing, or with the help of pins. Notable is the six-lobed foot chased from red copper, of which the two lobes on the sides of the monstrance are wider than the others and have an acolyte shape. Furthermore, the mutually equal figurines in the niches of the buttresses and the figure of Mary with the Child on the lid, and the finger-grooved edges on the cylindrical mounts. The lunula and the cylinder glass are missing. So also the parts of the broken hexagonal lantern. Rough soldering against the underside of the lower case mount.
