Andrzej Mackensen I, Gdansk, c. 1646

This pure gold chalice is the largest in Lithuania. It is masterfully crafted with artistic ornamentation and a rare composition of the base with an openwork knob. St Francis of Assisi, St Anthony of Padua, St Bonaventure, St Casimir and St Stanislaus are depicted on the chalice. The chalice also has a great memorial value – according to one of the versions, the golden chalice was donated to the Church of the Friars Minor of Druja by the endower of the church, the famous patron and supporter of the Catholic Church Kazimieras Leonas Sapiega. The Sapiega's coat-of-arms is represented on the foot of the vessel.
