Two salt barrels, Johannes Lutma (1584-1669), 1639 Canvas Print
The salt barrels (A and B) are made up of a cast pedestal and stem and a driven shell. The triangular, high-rising gilded pedestal is entirely decorated with whimsical, soft ornaments, including open-open mules. These are particularly visible at the base of the legs, the underside of which is designed as a stylized frog. The trunk has the shape of a boy, sitting on a dolphin with a raised, twisted tail, which falls over one of the child's shoulders. At A, the boy supports the shell with his raised right hand, while holding a shell in the forward-stabbed left hand. At B he supports the bowl with his left hand, while in the right he holds a coral branch. The head of both children is adorned with foliage. The oval, sunken gilded dish has a wide, slightly curved border decorated with whimsical ornaments, including folds from which mollusks protrude. The deepened part is divided into two halves by means of curved lines and is reminiscent of an opened shell. One short side is pushed up high and resembles the open mouth of a sea monster.
