Bodebus of the city of Amsterdam, on a round plate, surrounded by a convex, vine-driven frame, the city seal of Amsterdam is displayed against a punched background. The crowned weapon of Amsterdam rests against the mast of a wave-supported bullet ship. It is flanked by two bearded warriors in Roman armor, each holding a staff with a crowned coat of arms, the left shows the imperial weapon, the right shows the weapon of Holland. The three weapons are enamelled in red and black. Next to the coat of arms of Amsterdam is a small bearded figure that looks upwards from the front. The plate is set in a frame with six satyrs. The upper two hold an object adorned with a monster head, which is filled with a pomegranate, other fruits and horns. The remaining four satyrs are wedged in curling scrolls. The lower two cherish each a fruit. The frame has a punched soil and is driven with fruit in some places. It is closed at the bottom by a motif with grunts. Both the plate and the frame are partially plated. The slightly convex object is mounted on a flat red copper back plate with a large round hole in the middle, a round eye on the underside and the onset of a hook that has now been broken off. A W is engraved on the reverse of the silver plate, Amsterdam, Jan Cornelisz Coster (attributed to), 1548, silver (metal), copper (metal), gilding, h 18.4 cm × w 16.0 cm × t 1.5 cm × w 472 gr
