| Gallery label | Silver Gallery:
These two patens - on which the consecrated host (bread) would be placed during the Christian mass - feature the same design yet they were made about 50 years apart in different cities. Patterns or moulds for goldsmiths were continually reused and this version of the Resurrection of Christ was evidently a popular model.(26/11/2002) |
