Book of Hours, Crucifixion-decorated Host set in gold monstrance with pearls supported by two angels, This richly illuminated Book of Hours was produced ca. 1460 in Bruges by an artist in the circle of Willem Vrelant, whose work was influenced by the Masters of the Gold Scrolls and Master of the Beady Eyes. Allusions to the order of Franciscans and Augustinians in the litany and calendar, and the prominent depiction of female saints in the All Saints miniature indicate that the book was originally created for a female patron, possibly connected to one of these orders
