Summary
| Description |
Most pieces of the Vale of York Hoard were found inside this cup. It is decorated with plants and animals, and the vine-scrolls round the rim and base may symbolise Christ, described in the Bible (John 15) as the 'True Vine'. The internal gilding suggests the cup originally had a religious use. Produced on the continent, the cup may be loot from a foreign church or monastery. Part of 'Treasures from Medieval York: England’s other capital', a temporary exhibition at the British Museum, while the Yorkshire Museum is being renovated. |
