Goblet with cover, topped by a wild boar, The goblet has a glass funnel-shaped cup decorated with vertical ribs above a steeply rising, multi-articulated gilt silver base. The profiled, bulging gilt silver lid is crowned by a trunk around which a fleuron with leaf ornaments and volutes inlaid with pearls has been applied and on which a wild boar is crowned. The frame is decorated with decorative elements derived from Mannerism: bandwork and lion masks on the foot, saty heads on the nodus and a crowning flower basket on the lid. On the upper side of the lid is a continuous representation with figures derived from classical antiquity driven by the Triumph of Faith. The inside of the lid is decorated with a circling scene with all kinds of animals in paradise. In the middle of this the body of a unicorn protrudes which, when the lid is placed on the jar, can be seen through the glass, hoofed animals: boar, mask, mascaron, ornament, Reinier van Jaersvelt, Antwerp, 1546 - 1547, glass, montuur, pearl, gilding, h cm d cm d cm
