Ewer or Vase of Chalcedony, set with Rnhies.

Height 91 in.

Melchior Dinglinger, the maker of this beautiful vase, evidently had an antique model in his
mind, if he has not actually copied an existing object. It was intended, like another exactly similar, for
an ornament of a larger piece of goldsmith's work never executed.
