Description from the seller

Eucharistic pyx in silver and vermeil – late 19th to early 20th century – Belgium

Solid silver liturgical pyx, hallmarked 900 silver, intended for the conservation and transport of consecrated hosts.
Low cylindrical form, a fitted lid topped with an openwork insert in the shape of a Latin cross, an explicit Eucharistic symbol.

The interior is entirely gilded (vermeil), in accordance with the liturgical prescriptions for contact with the Sacred Species.

Austere and functional work, typical of ecclesiastical production in the 20th century.
An object genuinely intended for worship, not decorative.

Good overall condition, fine scratches from use, slight patina, lid well-fitted, no structural deformation.

Photos are an integral part of the description of the objects and complement their presentation. They allow you to assess their condition and characteristics. Please examine them carefully before any commitment.

The item will be carefully packaged and shipped with a tracking number to ensure fast and secure delivery.
