AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Silver engraved Eucharistic port in the 20th century.

Elegant silver hosts holder in a circular shape, finely engraved on the lid with Eucharistic iconography. The decoration features a lively radial pattern of rays, topped by a crown of stars, at the center of which is the traditional symbol of the 'three loaves' decorated with small crosses, enclosed in a woven basket. At the bottom of the scene, a stylized fish is depicted, an explicit reference to the early Christian symbols.

The edge is smooth, slightly rounded, with a lower hinge and an upper ring for suspension or transport. The object shows excellent craftsmanship, with deep, well-defined engravings. The silver has a beautiful, even patina that highlights its authenticity and preservation.

A liturgical piece of great charm, ideal for collectors of sacred arts or for ceremonial use.
