Eclectic


Quite the opposite of this rendition of the Ark, but still built on that image. A niche that has something of the flavor of a Muslim mihrab, which you also find, unsurprisingly, in old pre-Romanesque churches in Spain,


 


where Muslims invaded and receded over eight centuries til Isabel and Ferdinand finally drove them back to Africa in 1492. And a Catholic tabernacle for the Eucharist in the shape of a minimalist Ark of the Covenant, poles included.
