O "cálice" de Antioquia

500–550
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 300
Quando este objeto foi descoberto no início do século XX, muitos acreditavam que a taça de prata que constitui seu núcleo fosse o Santo Graal, a taça usada por Cristo na Última Ceia. Investigações posteriores demonstraram que o objeto é uma lâmpada. Ramos de videira decoravam o exterior do cálice em que aparecem vários personagens, dois deles são imagens do Cristo jovem entronizado. Em uma imagem, Cristo sustenta um pergaminho, sua “palavra”; na outra, está sentado ao lado de um cordeiro e sobre uma águia com asas estendidas, símbolos de sua missão como salvador da humanidade.
