Cánula

ca. 1230–50
On view at The Met Cloisters in Gallery 14
Creado para el ritual de la Misa, este conjunto ricamente ornamentado con alambres de oro torsionados e imágenes repujadas y nieladas se compone de una patena para el pan, un cáliz y una cánula para el vino. Las cánulas se utilizaban para no derramar el vino convertido en la sangre de Cristo. En el cáliz y la patena, diversas escenas de la vida de Cristo se asocian con los eventos del Antiguo Testamento que las prefiguraron. Los doce Apóstoles rodean el tazón del cáliz y San Trudperto, patrón del monasterio próximo a Freiburg, en Breisgau, de donde proceden estas piezas, ocupa un lugar prominente en la patena, frente a la imagen de Cristo en el medallón superior.
