"UGO ME FECIT. ORATE PRO EO. CALIX ECCLESIAE BEATI NICHOLAI DE OIGNIES. AVE."

Its translation is: "Hugo made me, pray for him, Chalice of the Church of Saint Nicholas of Oignies."

Hugo, from the founding siblings of the priory of Oignies, stands out from his brothers by his skills as a goldsmith. According to Arnould Rayssius’s 1628 inventory, this chalice was likely a commission for one of Hugo’s three brothers, Gilles de Walcourt.
