Gilded
and enamelled copper alloy bowl known as 'The Warwick Ciborium'
Third quarter of the 12th century
The
cover is lost, and much of the gilding and enamel has been destroyed.
On the bowl are depicted biblical scenes : those shown are (left) Jonah
and the Whale and (right) Moses and the burning bush. An inscription
referring to the scenes runs in a continuous band beneath the top
border. Probably made in Northern France.
