Honoring the captaincy of Jan Berewout Jan Lanckhorst (1668–1742) Cup from Jan Berewout's captaincy, The round cup has a separate lid. The foot rests on a low, straight-walled base. It is made up of a constricted part with a widened lower edge, and a convex part adorned with a laurel wreath bound with ribbons. The convex surface shows on a scaly ground decorated with three oval fields flanked by volutes with leaves. The following representations are shown in the fields: Perseus frees Andromeda from the dragon, a goddess gives an arrow to Diana, and Hercules kills Nessus who kidnaps Deianeira. In the middle of the upper side there is a raised section surrounded by a raised edge, the bottom of which is adorned with acanthus leaves on a punched ground. A triangular pedestal with swiveled sides rises from this. Each side is decorated with an oval medallion with a Janus head placed at the intersection of two bands with laurel leaves, against a stock with leaves and volutes. There is a shell under each medallion. The protruding, profiled corner posts of the pedestal rest on the top of the foot. They end at the top in a volute adorned with a ram's head, on which a series of buds decreasing depend. On the pedestal stands a woman with bare breasts, a snake coiling around the right arm and a mirror raised in the left hand, symbolizing caution. She supports the cuppa. The convex bottom part thereof is articulated by three twisted ribs, formed as strings of growing pearls, flanked by large volutes. The fields in between are divided in two by oppositely rotated volumes: the upper parts are decorated with mutually different weapon trophies under a helmet, the lower parts are scaled as are the spaces above the helmets. The upper part of the cuppa consists of the completely smooth, cup-shaped inner cuppa, which is attached to the lower part with a screw, and the countercuppa. Profile edges run along the top and bottom of the counter cup. It displays three oval fields with scaled
