Bowl with curved edge. Mottled green patina on the outside, the interior is largely golden. Here and there remains of tinning. Some cracks and a hole in the wall. The shell rests on a twisted ring. The wall runs up convex and ends in a folded lip. Under the lip two engraved lines. On the inside of the scale, a performance is engraved as a tondo: a standing Hercules, looking to the left. As attributes he has the club, quiver, lion skin and probably the apples of the Hesperides in his left hand. The hero is naked, muscular and full of self-confidence. Around the scene there is a waveband, an egg
