Canister, 1681, Hungarian, possibly Fogaras, Gilded silver, enamel, Overall: 6 11/16 x 4 in. (17 x cm), Metalwork-Silver, The six dynamic semicircular lobes are reminiscent of Byzantine and later orthodox sacred architecture but the Ottoman-influenced engraved floral decoration of pomegranates, tulips, and roses against black enamel suggests the canister served a useful purpose
