Summary

A lavish custody of silver filigrane originating from the parochial church of San Miguel Arcangel of Lazkao is kept in the Diocesan Museum of San Sebastián. This magnificent piece was donated, together with a reliquary, which has now been lost, to the parochial church of his native town by Ambrosio de Albisu, Prior of the Monastery of Our Lady of Belate and Canon of the Cathedral of Pamplona. It is considered to be a piece dated in the second quarter of the 18th century, the authorship of which is unknown, since it does not have any present author or workshop branding. However, due to its typological characteristics, as well as to existing documentation, it can be assigned to Sicilian workshops.
