This Communion Cup, created by Ralph Leeke in 1683-1684, is a fine example of English silverwork from the late 17th century. Its simple, elegant form is adorned with a circular inscription featuring the initials "IHS" (a common abbreviation for Jesus) and the Latin phrase "DEO SERVATORI" (to God the Savior), reflecting its sacred purpose. This cup, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, stands as a testament to the craftsmanship and religious devotion of its time.
