This is the Metropolitan Cathedral of Valencia's own custodial record for the Santo Caliz, the agate cup mounted in medieval gold and onyx that the cathedral holds in its Chapel of the Holy Chalice. As the artifact's legal custodian, the cathedral's own record is the correct source for its display, conservation and the cathedral's own account of the relic. Its limit is that it is a custodial and devotional record from the holding institution, not an independent archaeological or historical study of the cup's actual age or its claimed identification with a first century vessel, so a claim resting on that identification needs an independent scholarly source.
