I think these may help...
The first is a Pyx with a monstrance.

I am *attempting* to answer your question because I saw your other question about the rude answers you received to your questions. Indeed, you DID receive rude ones! I just am here to try to balance it out at least a little and say that I thank you for asking this, for I now know what a monstrance is! ;-)
Have you tried this site?

I am unsure if you were asking for an actual one (which are very expensive I see) or if you were wanting only an internet picture of one, or a real picture that you could actually buy.
Sorry, I'm not much help. :(
EDIT:
Oh gee, I just learned something else. I thought that Pyx was short for pictures! I just realized what it actually was. Boy am I dumb! Sorry! (I'm not Catholic just trying to learn!)
Anyway, here's a pretty one I found:

Try your local Catholic bookstore. They generally have them for extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion. ( the proper title)
Your parish should have one you can borrow. We always have several in the sacristy. Just ask. Get a burse, too. If you do get your own, small pyxes will usually fit in a rosary case.
PLEASE- if you are taking the Eucharist to someone....remember to go straight from the Church to the person you are ministering to - NO SIDE TRIPS! The pyx should not be put in a pocket or inside a bra....if the burse has a long cord, it is proper to wear it around your neck.
Also, remember to purify it after use. Rinse twice with clear water, then pour that water directly into the earth.

Why bother? Just more inventions of the CULT! Do you honestly think an TRUE CHRUISTIAN in ancient t=imes would bothe with such WASTEFULL LUXURIES--no way -- it would go to the poor and hungry--not th eVaticans Banks.

A google search revealed these places, and lots more also.
