Italian Gilded Monstrance

The Meekins Collection

An exceptional Italian monstrance, richly gilded and intricately decorated with symbolic religious imagery. The composition features sculpted figures of bishops, along with a bird, lamb and cross, each element carrying deep theological significance within Catholic iconography. The lamb symbolizes Christ’s sacrifice, the bird represents the Holy Spirit, and the cross anchors the piece in Eucharistic devotion.

The craftsmanship reflects the high level of ecclesiastical metalwork produced in Italy during the late 18th to early 19th centuries, when such objects were commissioned for church altars and devotional settings.
