The tabernacle is made of solid bronze and has a rich, aged patina that enhances its sacred and antique appearance. The front is adorned with a Chi Rho symbol, an early Christian Christogram combining the first two Greek letters of "Christ' (XP). It is also accompanied by a crescent-like design, possibly symbolizing resurrection or the Eucharist.

Liturgique, making it a valuable liturgical artifact.
