520 _aThe treasury of the Abbey of Saint-Maurice d'Agaune has a Sard vase from the first century BC, which legendary tradition attributes to being a gift of Saint Martin. The legend dates back to a little after the middle of the twelfth century and in all likelihood was created at the Abbey of Saint-Maurice at a critical moment of spiritual renewal for the abbey, which led to the reorganization of the abbey's memorial. At Saint-Maurice, this involved both "falsified" legal documents and individual pieces in its treasury for which prestigious donors were invented: By calling on founders or patrons from the distant past, the abbey could acquire a longer history and so carry on as a sacred site.
