High relief in walnut with reddish highlights. Traces of a ground layer that was once gilded or polychromed. Cracks—a chip on the nose—cracks in the ciborium; circa 1630–50.
A Franciscan (presumably Saint Pascal Baylon), wearing a tonsure and a habit, presents a ciborium and a host.
Saint Pascal Baylon (1540–1592) was a Discalced Franciscan recognized as a saint by the Catholic Church. He is the patron saint of Eucharistic works because he spent hours in ecstatic prayer before the Blessed Sacrament. Buried in the royal chapel of Vila-real, his tomb became a pilgrimage site. Beatified by Pope Paul V in 1618, he was canonized by Pope Alexander VIII on October 16, 1690.
