The monstrance reliquary in the church of St-Martin in Marpent , a French parish in the northern department of the Hauts-de-France region , was created in the first half of the 17th century for a fabric relic that was venerated as a piece of the shirt of Our Lady. In 1896 the monstrance with relic was classified as a monument historique .

The 36 cm high monstrance reliquary made of silver stands on a round base, it is crowned by a Madonna and Child and a cross on a dome above. Four pillars are arranged around the monstrance.
