Metal Pyx, 1850. Creator: Unknown

Metal Pyx, 1850. Item from an Exhibition of Ancient and Mediaeval Art at the Society of Arts, in John-street, Adelphi, [London]....a Pyx, or Ciborium, from the museum of the Archeological Institute. This was the vessel in which the paten or holy wafer for sacramental purposes was kept; and the will of Henry VII. supplies us with some curious particulars. From this we learn that for the purpose of furnishing all such parish churches as only possessed one of "copre or tymbre", he directs that a great number of these Pyxes shall be made of silver, and gilt, each of the value of £4; and then describes how that the said Pyxes shall be "garnisshed with our armes and rede roses, and portcolis crowned".'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850
