Three-tier money box made of tin-glazed earthenware painted in blue and manganese with biblical scenes in landscapes on two tiers, and with angels and stylized flowers on the top tier
Tin-glazed earthenware, painted in blue and manganese. The moneybox is made up of three rectangular boxes of diminishing size resting on top of each other, each with a slit for the money at the front, and with knobs on the angles. The lowest box rests on four bun feet. Each side of the lower two tiers is decorated with biblical scenes: on the lowest tier are the Kiss of Judas, the Temptation in the Wilderness (twice), and Christ crowned with Thorns; on the middle tier are Elisha and the Children, the Angel with the Fiery Sword (twice), and Christ led captive from Gethsemane. On the uppermost tier there is a cherub and stylized flowers on each face.
