"Beaker" is a silver beaker crafted by German goldsmith Hans Knebel in 1571. The piece features intricate, engraved, floral motifs that adorn the body and base of the beaker, and the foot is further decorated with five roundels, likely portraits of historical figures. Currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, "Beaker" is a prime example of the skilled craftsmanship that flourished during the Renaissance, showcasing the delicate details and decorative patterns favored in 16th-century German silverwork.
