By the thirteenth century two pyxes were considered necessary for each church: one to hold the unconsacrated wafers, and the other to hold the consecrated wafers. Numerous champlevé enamel pyxes have survived which suggests that they were among the most frequently commissioned liturgical objects. Foliated scrolls were one of the most common types of decoration on pyxes. reference term-107871 adlib-term-107871 78553be6-c810-30a1-9ba7-23f9a8a00947 13th Century reference term-10603 adlib-term-10603 09088083-a78d-3d70-9f4f-343b5c3283d7 Medieval reference term-15498 adlib-term-15498 61725bf5-360f-3837-8aab-3c90b956a537 literal France France country literal Haute Vienne Haute Vienne region Limoges reference term-39588 adlib-term-39588 b17ff981-06b2-30a2-b9a9-b514fe84a191 copper Height cm 9 Height in 3½ Width cm 8.3 reference media-205955 adlib-media-205955 22cf8d68-0f50-32a9-871e-f4636d16b559 jpeg aa/aa37/M_1_1913_srgb_2010_mfj22_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 1024 width pixels 983 1616244919321 1 image jpeg aa/aa37/mid_M_1_1913_srgb_2010_mfj22_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 521 width pixels 500 1616244919321 1 image jpeg aa/aa37/M_1_1913_srgb_2010_mfj22_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 1024 width pixels 983 1616244919321 1 image jpeg aa/aa37/preview_M_1_1913_srgb_2010_mfj22_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 260 width pixels 250 1616244919321 1 image 0 media image reference media-3557223098 portfolio portfolio-media-3557223098 0ede6cd7-313d-3cf2-9b5b-1768e5a498b5 jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/505/24/large_M_1_1913_2010_mfj22_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 1024 width pixels 1024 1529370484000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/505/24/mid_M_1_1913_2010_mfj22_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 500 width pixels 500 1529370484000 1 image M.1-1913_2010_mfj22_mas.tif 1529370484000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/505/24/preview_M_1_1913_2010_mfj22_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 250 width pixels 250 1529370484000 1 image 1 media image reference media-59246959 portfolio portfolio-media-59246959 023f49fb-bccb-3c1f-a52f-c1c1e1a2139d jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/626/843/large_M_1_1913_2010_mfj22_dc1.jpg 1 height pixels 1067 width pixels 1024 1550048739000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/626/843/mid_M_1_1913_2010_mfj22_dc1.jpg 1 height pixels 521 width pixels 500 1550048739000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/626/843/M_1_1913_2010_mfj22_dc1.jpg 1 height pixels 4637 width pixels 4451 1550048739000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/626/843/preview_M_1_1913_2010_mfj22_dc1.jpg 1 height pixels 260 width pixels 250 1550048739000 1 image pyramid tiff portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/626/843/M_1_1913_2010_mfj22_dc1.ptif 1 height pixels 4637 width pixels 4451 1550048739000 1 image 2 media image reference term-89905 adlib-term-89905 f99669ee-274f-39d9-ab60-4e3b0892aa8d pyx history note Uncertain before donor 1 reference object-139828 adlib-object-139828 20b7b8d3-0204-3f0b-b7f7-c70ab1bf9365
