Drinking Bowl (Hanap)

Eastern European or Bosnian or Serbian (?)

On view at The Met Cloisters in Gallery 10

This hanap, known as the Sanko Bowl, has been associated with Kaznac Sanko Miltenovi, an important fourteenth-century figure in the Bosnian court. The inscription around the lip can be translated, "In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost, may God give joy to him who drinks from it but let him not forget the poor." The repoussé, punched, and incised decoration on the interior strongly reflects French influence. The hybrid beasts are analogous to drolleries in the margins of contemporary manuscripts.
