This is a Cantagloria, a panel that, before the liturgical reforms of the Second Vatican Council, was placed on the altar to help the priest read certain prayers of the Mass.

The wood is carved and gilded.
The structure features elaborate carving with volute and acanthus-leaf motifs.

It dates from the 18th/19th century.
