The chalice has a circular foot with a small flange with a wavy pattern and three straight sections. The slope of the foot has two folds and is covered with floral patterns as well as Regency ornament and palmette shells. The stem of the foot has a bulging shape. The stem is like that of a candelabrum with a vase-like, fluted nodus enclosed in two hexagonal rings. The cup is slender with an everted edge. It is placed in an openwork basket made of floral and Regency ornaments and palmette shells.
It is one of the few historical works of gold that remained in Tyniec after the dissolution of the monastery.

Chalice

Polychrome tripod plate (black and red on orange) decorated with death-related symbols. At the center appears the image of a water lily leaf surrounded by three flowers with open corollas and three stamens. This motif, enclosed within a circle, is framed by a decorative band that extends across the entire interior wall surface, featuring crossed bones, bulging eyes, and what appear to be the eyes of supernatural beings with baton- or reptilian-shaped irises. A red band runs along the rim. The supports are conical, slotted, and rattle-type.

Plate with Death Motifs

The desert rain frog is a plump species with bulging eyes, a short snout, short limbs, spade-like feet, and webbed toes. On the underside, it has a translucent area of skin through which its internal organs can be seen. It can be between 4 and 6 centimetres (1.6 and 2.4 in) long. Its color is yellowish-brown, and sand often adheres to its skin Sand sticks to the frogs entire body, excluding the mouth and nose, and can likely be attributed to a type of sticky secretion, as removal of sand from the frog is difficult.

Unlike most other species of frogs, it develops directly from the egg into adults without passing through the tadpole stage. It has a stout body with small legs, which makes it unable to hop or leap, so it walks around on the sand. Unusually for a frog, it does not require water in its habitat to survive, but it does not have any apparent adaptation to prevent water loss.[8] Its eyes are comparatively large and bulging. The lifespan ranges between 4 and 14 years

Zoomorphic Plate with Movable Bird Head

Codex-style tripod vase featuring a supernatural scene with 4 figures. The principal figure is an aged deity with a black-painted face and a serpentine body, identified as K’awil, holding a shell in his left hand, which he plays as a trumpet. Facing him is what appears to be a tripod plate, of which only a bulging eye and a femur are visible. A second figure is a feline zoomorph, possibly a puma due to the absence of characteristic spots, shown dancing and holding a skull in the right hand. Finally, a jaguar with a serpent coiled around its neck is shown encircling a seated human figure at the lower portion of the scene.  A red horizontal band runs above and below the rim, as well as along the lower portion of the wall. The surface has been repainted in some sections.
