Chalice, 1222, made in possibly Meuse Valley, Northern Europe, by Brother Bertinus, silver and silver gilt, 19.1 x 13.7 cm, The Met Cloisters

The inscription around its base indicates that this chalice was made by Brother Bertinus in 1222. It is not known, however, where this accomplished goldsmith worked. The imaginary beasts swirling around the knop and the balanced proportions of the large round bowl and splayed foot typify North European style of the early thirteenth century.
