This silvertone chalice is perfect for any altar, ritual or celebration. Measuring approximately 5 1/2" high, it possesses a wide mouth, measuring approximately 3" in diameter and a more slender base which only sits at approximately 2 3/8" in diameter. A handle extends smoothly from this base until, about half-way up its length, it presents an ornamental, beveled design. Also decorated its otherwise unmarred surface, both front and back, is an interwoven pentagram, with its five pointed star framed within an intricate weave of Celtic knots.

The Element of Water is represented through the use of the Chalice, which is a ceremonial drinking vessel. The Chalice is used to take drinks during rituals and at the culmination of ritual work. In some paths it is also used to toast the Gods.

This tool also represents the universal feminine or the womb, especially when combined with the Athamé during the symbolic Great Rite. However, in Asatru the chalice is used as a drinking horn for holding sacred mead.
