This delicately turned agate bowl, displaying elegant bands in grey-violet and warm hues
of pink and orange is mounted with silver gilt acanthus leaf borders at foot and rim, which express the high esteem of the art object in the 17th century.

A very similar object in the Green Vault Dresden and the Wunderkammer, Burg Trausnitz, Landshut
