A silver chalice with a gilded interior features a flared cup and a wide, eight-lobed base. Ornate bands of leaf and vine patterns wrap the cup above a decorative calyx. The stem, lined with geometric squares, contains a rounded central section with circular bosses featuring cross designs. Engraved lancet motifs flare into the base, where each lobe displays a circular floral medallion. Small beaded borders line the bottom edge.
