| Created after oriental models, aquamaniles were frequently of a profane character. |
| Most of the aquamaniles in the National Museum were used in churches, but these two were used at banquets in prosperous homes. |
| International discoveries of complete ceramic aquamaniles are rare, because they are delicate and easily damaged. |
| Of prime importance in the realm of religious objects are gold and enamel works and aquamaniles made of bronze. |
| On display will be small bronze sculptures, liturgical implements, artifacts in gold, glass cabinets, altar paintings, water containers known as aquamaniles and statues. |
| More unusual vessels were produced, for example lamps, chafing dishes, shallow pans and aquamaniles. |
