Wedding cup, Wedding goblet, The base of the round goblet is made up of a slightly curved bottom edge, decorated with a stamped, repeating pattern of leaves, a profiled straight wall with a block frame, a vaulted section with rolling cartouches and acanthus leaves on a punched surface, a second profiled straight wall with a stamped frieze of lion masks and draperies, and another vaulted section, decorated with guilloches. The vase-shaped nodus rests on a straight profiled base with a block frame. It is adorned with bandages connected by bandwork on a shaded surface and with three freestanding volutes and is crowned by a radially arranged edge of wider and narrower leaf shapes. A narrow profiled band forms the transition to the conical cuppa, which is closed at the bottom by a convex portion and at the top by a smooth curved lip edge. The convex part is adorned with grunts beneath a leafed edge above which satyr masks against rolling cartouches, interspersed with bunches of fruit on a punched surface. The conical part is driven by two representations from the parable of the prodigal son: the prodigal son in a brothel and as a pig keeper. The lid is constructed in almost the same way as the base, but the decorations do not match. The bottom edge is made up of wide and narrow shapes. The lower vaulted part displays grotesque masks against rolling cartouches, interspersed with bunches of fruit hanging on ribbons on a punched surface. The stamped frieze of the straight wall is the same as that on the foot, and the upper part is decorated with leaf motifs. On the vase-shaped bud is a wild boar chained to a block, the prodigal son in the middle of prostitution feasting and dissipating his patrimony, usually in a brothel or inn, the prodigal son tends the swine and eats from their trough, boar (male pig), anonymous, Amsterdam, 1569, silver (metal), h 28.0 cm × d 9.2 cm × w 392.0 gr × w 268.0 gr
