Item from an Exhibition of Ancient and Medieval Art in London: '...Pyx or ciborium, the vessel in which the consecrated wafer was kept...It has small enamels, on glass and pieces of niello, of Christ and the Apostles surrounding it, the ?work of the fourteenth century; but it is questionable whether the ornament at present surmounting it has not replaced one of an earlier date and more appropriate in character.
