Mortar with hunting scenes and the inscription ANTONI WILKES ME FECIT ENCHVSAE ANNO 1661, Antoni Wilkes, 1661 Canvas Print
The cast round mortar widens upwards, has a high protruding edge and a profiled base, which is applied higher than the bottom of the object. On the edge in Latin majuskels the inscription ANTONI WILKES ME FECIT ENCHVSAE ANNO 1661 with punctuation consisting of a rosette made up of seven balls (seven times). The wall is decorated with two friezes. On the upper one, more than twice the motif of a Renaissance vase between two symmetrically placed angels with a palm branch, sitting on tendrils, in which a cornucopia is included and the second of which ends volutely in a mask. The partially repeated representation on the lower frieze is derived from the hunt: a rider and his foothand are on the falcon hunt, a man holds up a piece of meat (?) for a lion, a rider hunts a deer with three dogs, which is also approached by a foothand with a lance, while a man blows on a horn.
