Toledo cathedral, the treasury

 A reliquary that is used to hold the sacraments. It's made of gold and is big and tall.
 This was its base, the room was small and crowded that one complete picture cannot be taken. I had to break it up into 2 frames. The sacraments are placed in here and the whole thing is paraded around the church. It takes lots of people to carry it.

There were a few valuable illustrated bibles and other silver objects making this a treasure trove of religious object d'art.
