Chalice and ciborium, Emmaus Supper, silver-plated brass.
Chalice and ciborium in silver-plated brass, hand-chiseled with the scene of the disciples at Emmaus.
Both bases are engraved with a stylised, well-defined Chi-Rho symbol.
The cup of both the chalice and the ciborium bears the same motif: Jesus breaking the bread, flanked by Mary and a disciple, depicted with rich detail yet balanced forms.
The ciborium is completed by an ornamental lid engraved with four flowers and a central gold-relief fish, which adds a touch of light and recalls one of Christianity's oldest symbols.
Chalice: height 6.5 in, cup diameter 3.5 in.
Ciborium: height 7.1 in, cup diameter 4.7 in.
Cleaning: use a soft, dry cloth and avoid aggressive cleaners to preserve the silvered finish and the gilded reliefs.
