The cup of the chalice is hemispherical with a slightly flared rim. It is enclosed in an openwork sleeve with a pierced, scrolling foliate pattern. The sleeve bears two oval medallions with chased scenes of the Last Supper and the Entombment, and two half-length figures of angels; the edge has a border of scrolls. The stem is baluster-shaped with a pear-shaped knop chased with angels’ heads separated by bunches of flowers and fruit; its lower part is decorated with acanthus leaves. The knop rests on a profiled hexagonal base. The foot is in the form of a six-lobed rosette. Its upper part is chased with six oval medallions depicting the Mandylion (Image of Christ Not Made by Hands), the Instruments of the Passion, and bunches of flowers and fruit, framed by a scrolling foliate pattern. The lower part of the foot is chased with angels’ heads and swags of flowers and fruit suspended from ribbons. The rim of the foot is chased with small gadroons. A donor’s inscription is engraved on the inside of the foot.
