Monstrance Monstrance
This is a monstrance. It was made by Eustach Hayd. It is dated 1670–1674 and we acquired it in 1931. Its medium is gold plated, silver, glass. It is a part of the Product Design and Decorative Arts department.
In the Roman Catholic Church, a monstrance is a container that holds the consecrated Host, or Eucharistic bread, for viewing during ceremonies. The clear window displays the Host, and the circling flames and rays create a halo to emphasize its importance. (Design for Life, 1997-98).
