Antioch chalice

[7] On the base of the chalice there are lotus petals, with a palm wreath above it on the bulb of the short stem.

[2]  When it was discovered, the inner cup was thought to be the Holy Chalice, with the gilded, footed shell being added within the first century after the death of Christ to honor the grail.

[2][9] It was displayed as the Holy Grail at the Chicago World's Fair in 1933 and was later sold to The Cloisters in New York in 1950.

[10] Recently the Antioch chalice has been identified as having the shape of a standing lamp commonly used in churches in the first half of the sixth century.

[9] It has also been determined recently that the Antioch chalice could have been a part of a larger group of silver objects that belonged to the Church of Saint Sergios in the small town of Kaper Koraon.
