Shallow bowl
Earthenware bowl sent from Italy by Father Joseph-Antoine Poncet de la Rivière in 1671. The nuns used it to knead bread rolls, which were then blessed and distributed to the sick in New France. It bears the Jesuit symbol “IHS” surrounded by rays and with a cross rising above the three nails of the Passion.
