Tabernacle for a Carmelite Convent in Latvia, for their newly built monastery. The framework of the tabernacle is built in oiled oak, the door and the pyramids are made by Aline Marion from Estremoz marble. The door is inlaid with a stylized grape motiv from semiprecious stones like Amethyst and Verde di Arno. The tabernacle is crowned by the symbol of the Carmelite order, cast in bronze and silver plated.
The tabernacle was blessed in a festive ceremony by the archbishop of Riga and since forms the centre of the religious ceremonies in the convent.
