Design for a tall ciborium with a decorated knob in the centre of the handle, and with a lid, on which there is a cylindrical box that is also decorated and which has a lid with a cross. On the right, next to this drawing, the inside of this box is depicted, as it were, with the cross on top of the lid and below it a sort of skimmer (?) To the right of the handle, not far from it, are two simpler alternatives for the design of this handle, drawn in red chalk. At the top of the drawing ot the tall ciborium, another shorter ciborium is drawn in pencil, with a flat bowl and simple lid.
