Description from the seller

19th-century Catholic Christian liturgical altar for the sacred chalice, made of hand-painted wood. In the center, it has an interior space where the relic was kept. As you can see, it has three revolving doors—Celestial (Paradise), White (Purgatory), and Red (Hell)—which can be turned by hand. Each space is a different color. The Holy Chalice was placed on top of the pedestal.
It shows signs of an incipient fire, probably caused by a candle that had been lit.

Dimensions:
Height: 65 cm
Width: 41 cm
Depth: 25 cm
