Elijah cup c. 20th century

The "Elijah Cup" is a silver chalice dating back to the 20th century and currently housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art. The cup’s design features an ornate, three-dimensional base with a decorative, oval-shaped panel depicting the biblical prophet Elijah. The scene portrays Elijah with a group of people around a table, likely representing a festive gathering. This type of cup, crafted for ceremonial use during Jewish holidays, is often associated with the tradition of "Elijah's cup" used to symbolize hope and redemption.
