Facade de tabernacle ouvrant a deux battants en argent, probablement Perou XVIIIe siecle

le bas repoussé des bustes du Christ, Saint Joseph et un saint monarque entourés de deux scènes de la Passion, les portes ornées de la Descente de croix et de la Résurrection, entourées de six colonnes torses, le fronton orné de trois statues dont la Vierge Marie au centre, Saint Pierre et probablement Saint Jude Thaddée portant une croix, chaque statue sommée de vasques de fruits

Some small holes commensurate with age mainly on the upper part, mostly invisible on the outside, visible through light on the backside. 4 very small holes for nails on bottom and sides. The bottom rim torn but due to the way it was fixed on the altar. Usual dents and scratches. Very attractive and rare piece.
