Within a frame of floral garlands and horns of plenty, from which emerge ears of wheat associated with vine bulbs, a very prominent monstrance is placed on the central plinth. Numerous pearl tassels adorn the festoons and cords. The Musée de la Visitation de Moulins brings together and presents to the public the paramentiquary and goldsmith’s collections of numerous monasteries of the Visitation Sainte-Marie, whose nuns have distinguished themselves since their foundation in the 17th century by the excellence of their needlework.
