Tassilo bicoloured chiseled chalice and ciborium with Four Evangelists.
This set, comprising a chalice and a ciborium, is crafted in gold-plated brass and decorated with an elaborate chiseled relief. The chalice cup displays figures of the Evangelists enclosed in gilded medallions, accompanied by foliate motifs and interlaced ornamental patterns typical of ancient tradition. The central node is likewise adorned with geometric elements and cross motifs, while the foot features additional relief figures recalling the Four Evangelists.
The ciborium follows the same decorative language: silver-plated brass with gilded inserts and rich bas-reliefs depicting the Evangelists. Its lid is silver-plated with gilded details and a finely worked cross set with a central blue stone. As on the chalice, vegetal and geometric motifs cover the entire surface, creating aesthetic continuity between the two pieces.
