Champlevé enamels were made at Limoges and in the valleys of the Rhine and Meuse from the 11th to the 14th centuries. Limoges workshops manufactured Eucharistic doves, which would have been hung over an altar as an evocation of the Holy Spirit. They were portable tabernacles, containing consecrated hosts.
