Kan with representations of the planets, Bartel Jamnitzer (attributed to), c. 1581 Canvas Print
Jug of gilded silver. The neck is formed from a female breast statue and the spout from a palmet-shaped elevation of her hairstyle. The ovoid vessel is surrounded by a profile along the neck and under the shoulder. At the front there is a woman's mask and under the onset of the ear a man's head. The barrel and the round base, separated by a crunching collar, are covered with elevated rollwork and bundles of fruit against a roughened ground. On the shoulder, four oval cartouches have been added with the four winds, represented by putti. On the barrel, separated by mascarons, four standing rollwork cartouches are fitted: three with pairs of gods: Jupiter and Mars, Apollo and Venus and Mercury and Diana, while in the fourth Saturn is depicted as he devours his child. Pearl edges surround the spout and the high ear, from which in addition a bearded head sprouts. Under the foot a screwed-on, unsulous plate, on which in engraving, within a leaf edge the arms of the geuder and Haller families and the year 1581.
