Where did this go?
Where the object went is unclear. It was created in Egypt (likely in Cairo) and could have easily traveled a far distance from its place of origin. Objects like this bowl and other vessels were durable and portable (Atil et al, 1985). This allowed Crusaders to be able to travel long distances with the objects either carrying them with them during the Crusades or traveling home with these souvenir-like objects. It is likely that this object could have ended up in Europe as the Crusader who was the patron for this item returned home after the Crusades.
It is also possible, though, the object was acquired in Islamic lands by Crusaders and kept there. In Syria and Egypt, for example, there were large Christian settlements in the Crusaded lands (Atil et al, 1985). This means objects like the Crusader’s Bowl may not have traveled a far distance from its place of origin. Instead, the object may have stayed in Cairo or traveled along with the crusader to the next location on their mission to reclaim the Holy Land.
Currently, this bowl is at Harvard's Art Museum. It was a gift from the Arthur M. Sackler Museum from the Hagop Kevorkian Foundation in memory of Hagop Kevorkian in 1975 where it has been since (Harvard Art Museum, 2021).
