DESCRIPTIVE DATA
----------------
object type: Silver-gilt and coconut; the slightly domed circular base embossed in the Mannerist style with putti sporting in water with sea monsters.  The stem comprises a raised boss below a baluster knop, which is embossed with winged grotesques on a matted ground.  The calyx is simply engraved to resemble three leaves.  Three cast openwork staps contain the coconut and are secured at the top with a Classical cast head of a man.  Around the top of the coconut is a broad band engraved with three circles between vignettes of an eagle, wolf and horsbirds amid foliage.  The deep rim mount is plain inside, whilst the exterior is engraved with a band of strapwork.  The centre of the cover is of coconut shell with a chased silver-gilt border of the heads of putti between birds and scrols.  In the centre is a finial of a Classical warrior.
object type: silver-gilt and coconut; rim mount engraved with an eagle, wolf and horse, coconut held by three straps, on a Mannerist stem and foot.
