Communion cup. A turned wooden goblet with decorative rings around the middle, stem and foot.

ABDUA:17650

Maple-wood chalice came from Greyfriars Church when it was demolished in 1903. Probably used as an ornament, perhaps one of a pair (pronounced angular rim is not suitable for drinking from so unlikely to be a communion chalice). Made between 1650 and 1700, body and stem turned. The foot is a separate piece and is hand carved.
