Chrismatorium before 1761

"Chrismatorium" is a silver container created by the Dutch silversmith weduwe Johan Henrich Thyl before 1761. This small, cylindrical vessel with a domed lid, topped with a cross bearing the inscription "IHS", was likely used to hold chrism, a holy oil used in Christian ceremonies. The container's simple design and delicate craftsmanship exemplify the aesthetic preferences of the time and serve as a testament to the skillful artistry of silversmiths in the 18th century. The "Chrismatorium" is a captivating example of religious devotional art, reflecting the importance of religious practices in Dutch society.
