| Description |
The placard at the Victoria and Albert Museum reads: GERMAN, Königsberg (now Kaliningrad, Russia); about 1650 Amber, gilt brass mounts Museum number 659-1904 This cup was probably made specially for a Cabinet of Curiosities. Workshops of Amber carvers in the early 17th century produced many such object for collectors. The use of clear amber meant that carvings could be seen from both sides, so the cup was intended to be picked up and looked at from all angles. Each of the seven panels that make up the sides of the cup has a carving of an animal: a plecian, a stag, an eagle, a squirrel, a fox, a swan and a rabbit. |
