Description from the seller
Episcopal ciborium in vermeil silver richly adorned with amethyst cabochons set in bezels, arranged on the cover, the knot and the foot. The inner cup is entirely gilded according to liturgical use. The domed cover is surmounted by a trilobed Latin cross.
The knot and the foot repeat a rhythmical motif of amethysts in polylobed frames, evoking the episcopal symbolism of liturgical violet.
Below the base there is an engraved inscription bearing “Monseigneur de Grammont,” indicating an episcopal destination.

– Minerva, 1st title (950‰)
Height: 26 cm
Weight: 563 g
