Description from the seller
Episcopal ciborium in gilded silver richly adorned with bezel-set amethyst cabochons, arranged on the lid, the knot, and the base. The interior cup is fully gilded in accordance with liturgical use. The domed lid is crowned by a trilobed Latin cross.
The knop (knot) and the foot repeat a rhythmical amethyst motif in polylobed engraved surrounds, evoking the episcopal symbolism of liturgical purple.
Under the foot is an engraved inscription mentioning “Monseigneur de Grammont,” indicating an episcopal destination.
