Chalice 1222

The Chalice, created by Brother Bertinus in 1222, is a silver and gold-gilt chalice that is a fine example of Gothic metalwork. The chalice, which is now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is decorated with intricate details and an inscription on the base reading "AD HONORAM B MARIE." The design of the chalice features a round, footed bowl, a stylized stem with floral and geometric designs, and a base that is inscribed with the artist's name and a dedication to the Virgin Mary.
