A chalice design paired with a plan of its foot suggests a working drawing rather than a finished picture, the sort of sheet a maker used to lay out the cup, stem and base before cutting or casting. Drawings like this show how a vessel was built up from simple geometric shapes, with the plan view revealing the circular outline and proportions that the elevation alone could not convey. Because the board places it among religious stained glass, it likely belonged to a workshop serving church commissions, where clear layouts were essential for translating a sacred object into a precise, durable form.
