Created by the talented artist Godefroid de Huy, this gilded bronze and champleve enamel piece measures 31.5x22.5 cm and is currently housed in the Musee de l'Hotel Sandelin in Saint-Omer, France. The intricate details of this artwork are truly mesmerizing. The base features various symbols and figures that hold significant meaning within religious iconography. A saint, lion, mark, eagle, writing gospel, treasure, enamelled evangelical symbol can all be found intricately crafted on this piece. One cannot help but marvel at how each element has been meticulously designed and executed with precision. The craftsmanship is simply remarkable.
