## Commentary

This large chalice of pure gold was associated already with Bishop Bernward of Hildesheim in the 15th century. Especially precious are the citrines on the knob and the high-quality antique cut stones on the base. The engraved scenes are from the New Testament on the base, and the Last Supper on the cup.
