The Molina AS-197-1 Ciborium is a richly detailed covered ciborium from Molina’s Romanesque Collection, designed to coordinate perfectly with the matching AS-197 Chalice and AS-197-2 Open Ciborium.
The cup features detailed representations of the Twelve Apostles, identified by their traditional Latin names, while the base incorporates the symbols of the Four Evangelists. This highly sculptural decoration gives the AS-197 series its distinctive traditional character and makes it an exceptional choice for parishes seeking a complete matching set of altar vessels.
Measuring approximately 9" high with a 5-5/8" diameter cup, the ciborium holds approximately 300 hosts. Molina offers the AS-197-1 in several metal configurations, including silver-plated, sterling-silver inner cup, and all-sterling versions.
