Wine jug |

| Description |
A wine jug in silver-gilt and originally with a hinged lid, now missing. The handle and spout is in the form of a dragon and a snake respectively. It has an eight-lobed foot. This may have been used as a Eucharistic wine jug but it seems more likely that it was for secular use. There is no religious symbolism on this vessel to suggest a sacramental use for it, although the foot is of a style sometimes used for chalices. This jug comes from Flanders or north-west Germany. |
