Patène

ca. 1230–50
On view at The Met Cloisters in Gallery 14
Cet ensemble richement orné d’entrelacs de fils d’argent, de reliefs repoussés et d’images niellées fut créé pour la messe : la patène pour le pain, et le calice ainsi que la paille pour le vin. À cette époque, l’officiant employait souvent une paille, voire deux, pour éviter de répandre le vin, consacré et donc assimilé au sang du Christ. Sur le calice et la patène, des événements de l’Ancien Testament sont jumelés à des scènes de la vie du Christ qu’ils sont censés préfigurer. Les douze apôtres encerclent la coupe. Saint Trudpert, patron du monastère des environs de Fribourg-en-Brisgau d’où viennent ces pièces, occupe une place de choix, directement sous le Christ du médaillon supérieur.
