| dc.description | Museum DE MINDERE in Saint-Trond has a remarkable relic on display. It is a bowl which is reported to belong to Saint Francis of Assisi (1181/1182-1226) who used it for eating and drinking. This utensil was in the possession of the Friars Minor in Malines for many years. Several decorative elements on the object stylistically point to a 13th-century production. A material study of the bowl showed it to be a calabash and the radiocarbon measurement dates the object roughly between 1490 and 1650. Additional historical research revealed that there were two bowls in the Friars Minor convent in Malines. They were both made of majolica, which would also have been used by Saint Francis. In the course of time, one of them disappeared, while the other ended up in Herentals. In 1835, the calabash bowl appeared in the archives for the first time, this time among the Poor Clares in Malines. The Sisters then gave it (back) to the Friars Minor of the same city. This study demonstrates that there may be a link between the object in Saint-Trond and the two bowls of the Friars Minor in Malines. The calabash bowl could have been a casing in which the earthenware bowl(s) had been kept for centuries and may also have been regarded afterwards as a special Saint Francis relic. | en_US |
