专家说明

A very similar seventeenth century bratina, also inscribed ‘Bratina of the Troitsky Sergeev Monestary’ is held in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, 53.1041 (A. Odom, Russian Silver in America: Surviving the Melting Pot, London, 2011, pp. 40-41, 216).
In the seventeenth century, Peter I sought shelter within the walls of the Troitsky Sergeev Monastery twice. It remains the most important Russian Monastery In Russia and is regarded as the spiritual centre of the Russian Orthodox Church.
