A valuable silver treasure found in Braga, dated from the mid-18th century, is studied. This treasure, made up of four different group of pieces, was all melted except for a "sacrifice vessel", whose whereabouts remains unknown. The detailed description of the pieces that constitute the treasure leads us to conclude that it must have really existed. A study is, thus, essayed taking in account the nature of its figurative repertoire and the meaning of its imaginary. Not only is a religious reading of this treasure suggested, but also an attempt to date it chronologically and to contextualize it in the city is carried away, taking in account the archaeological evidences unburied throughout decades of excavations.
