Emblazoned Eucharistic Cabinet Doors, Late 15th Early 16th Century In Walnut.

These cabinets were built into the masonry of the church before the Council of Trent (1545-1563) which modified the liturgy by placing the tabernacle on the altar. The inscription "SACROL CUSTODIA" on the oak frame is later but attests to the origin of these doors. The coat of arms, probably from northern Spain, occupies a central place to mark the importance of the donor. It includes a Saracen harrow on the left and three horizontal bands and a dog tied to a tree on the right. The atypical shape of the shield harmonizes with the fenestrations and the stylized thistle foliage of Flamboyant Gothic, its symmetry is reinforced by the encompassing brace. The lack of color of the coat of arms is compensated by the opposition of the two graphic registers: curves and straight lines.
