The Tassilo Chalice is a bronze chalice, gilded with silver and gold, dating from the 8th century, which has probably always been at Kremsmunster Abbey, Austria. Dating from c. 770-790 AD, the chalice was donated by Luitpirga, wife of the Bavarian Duke Tassilo III, possibly on the occasion of the establishment of the Benedictine Abbey at Kremsmunster in 777. The chalice is composed of an egg-shaped cup, a large knop and a relatively narrow foot (base). The chalice is cast in bronze that has been gilded with gold and silver and decorated by various methods, including niello engravings and chip-carving. It stands 25.5 cm high, and weighs 3.05 kg; its cup holds approximately 1.75 litres.
