| Description |  |
Chalice with youthful Christ with a cruciform, a saint with a censer (probably Saint Stephen), the Virgin Mary in an orant pose, and a youthful saint. The generous size of this chalice is evidence of the large number of Christians residing around Attarouthi prior to the rise of Islam.
