Chalice of Dagobert

The Chalice of Dagobert is a historic gold chalice believed to have been created in the 7th century for Dagobert I, the Frankish king. It’s made of gilded silver and decorated with intricate designs and gemstones. The chalice is significant not only for its artistry but also for its connection to early French royalty and Christian rituals. It became famous for its mysterious history, including being stolen during the French Revolution and later recovered. Today, it is housed in the Basilica of St. Denis near Paris, representing both artistic heritage and royal history in France.
