A Cathedral-Scale Tabernacle of Silver, Gold, and Sacred Light
The Oxidized Silver Tabernacle with Gold Rays, IHS Medallion, and Ruby Stones by Koley's Inc. is one of the most visually commanding tabernacles in the Koley's line. Its oxidized silver-plated body is crowned by a sweeping gold sunburst whose rays are set with raised wheat-sheaf panels, radiating outward from a central IHS medallion encircled by a decorative silver ring set with four red ruby stones. The interior is finished in 24K bright gold plate, honoring the dignity of the Blessed Sacrament within.
At 57 lbs. and with a door opening of 12-1/2"H x 10-3/4"W, the K-657 is designed for principal altars in large parishes, cathedrals, and basilicas where the tabernacle must be visible and reverently prominent from a distance. Made to order by Koley's Inc., it is a lasting investment in the beauty of a sanctuary.
