Chalice
Author: Unknown
Date: 16th century, 1st half
Material: Silver and copper
Dimensions (cm): H 24 x D 17,6
Provenance: Unknown
Inventory No.: MAS O 36
This chalice, of circular base and flat hemispherical bowl, has the base decorated with six lobes filled with motifs based on foliage, one of them having the cross and the three nails represented.
This chalice presents great likeness to two other chalices that belong to the collection of the Museum (MAS O 132 and MAS O 152), revealing the continuity of the Romanesque models, in a production of great simplicity and lacking creativeness, certainly more accessible, in terms of costs, to the religious communities that acquired them.
