Gilded brass chalice with silvered decorations, 11 in, Baroque style.
Chalice crafted in gilded brass with silvered brass inserts, featuring decorations inspired by the Baroque style. The base displays curlicue motifs typical of this style, enriched just above by three scenes from the life of Jesus: the Nativity, the Baptism and the Death, interspersed with ears of wheat and clusters of grapes.
