| Description |  |
Chalice with youthful Christ with a cruciform halo, a long-haired Saint John the Baptist, the Virgin Mary in orant pose, and a saint holding a Gospel book. The generous size of this chalice is evidence of the large number of Christians residing around Attarouthi prior to the rise of Islam.
