All the kids end up in there :-) But you've got better stuff to sketch.<br /><br />Cheers --- Larrylarryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499637631503513759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-220865105573981879.post-85595107928775607702013-12-12T22:47:06.345-08:002013-12-12T22:47:06.345-08:00Good sketch!

I found wonderful photos of the piece and they were all so labeled but none of the articles explained the meaning of the term. I even found it on SAM's website but it still doesn't explain it. I find it quite puzzling and more so because I can't find more of an explanation on the web!<br /><br />In European Heraldry, this is called "the Pelican in its Piety". I've also never heard of that imagery being called "Eucharistic" but it does make sense.<br /><br />Also of interest, your sketch comes up as the third non-ad link when searching the term, "Eucharistic urn"!<br /><br />KateAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-220865105573981879.post-88014652127037597582013-12-12T18:23:52.805-08:002013-12-12T18:23:52.805-08:00I love all the details you included in the urn.

Sorry there were so many school kids, but having been a teacher who took kids on museum trips, we tend to travel in packs. lolJoan Tavolotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11290923567339587417noreply@blogger.com
