Holy Grail and the Ark of the Covenant and there are some interesting legends attached to this

bronze; inside the bronze box is a box made from sycamore wood; within the sycamore box is
another box constructed from ivory and ebony; inside the ivory and ebony box is a silver box,

serpent that cannot be slain.
