From the Rijksmuseum record
The design of monstrances closely reflected the elaborate Gothic church architecture of the 15th and early 16th centuries. The glass section was for the host, the body of Christ, according to Roman Catholic doctrine. This sacred host was displayed in a monstrance to worshippers during processions and on religious feast days.
