The centerpiece of the Treasure

Room is this 500-pound, 10-foot

high, 15th-century gilded

monstrance. Its creator is Juan del Arfe, a silversmith

of German descent. The monstrance is made of solid silver and was gilded 70 years later, allegedly

with gold brought back from the New

World by Columbus. It is still

carried through the streets of

Toledo during the feast of Corpus

Christi.

A magnificent example of Gothic

art, it is overflowing with

intricate detail and summarizes the

entire New Testament with

life-sized figures, culminating in a Calvary scene at

the top. In the center is a great

pyramidal monstrance
