La Lechuga

La Lechuga (English: The Lettuce) is a monstrance made between 1700 and 1707 by José de Galaz for the San Ignacio Church of Bogotá, then part of the New Kingdom of Granada. It was paid for by a group of Jesuits, probably in order to hide the gems contained in it from the Spanish Crown. Currently, La Lechuga is owned by the Bank of the Republic and is on permanent display at the Miguel Urrutia Art Museum in Bogotá, Colombia.
