Chalice

French

Not on view

This chalice, which bears the mark of the Lamb of God (agnus dei) on the underside of its base, is a rare surviving example of goldsmith's work produced in Rouen-after Paris, the most important city for metalwork in the north of France. The Crucifixion appears in one of the shield-shaped translucent enamels. The arms of the deClercq family, documented in Bruges and in northern France from the fourteenth to the sixteenth century, are represented in the other. The cup has been replaced.

Chalice, Translucent enamel, silver, partial gilt and niello, French
