This photograph, "Nautilusbeker uit de zestiende eeuw op de Tentoonstelling van Oudheden te Delft" (Nautilus Cup from the sixteenth century at the Exhibition of Antiquities in Delft), by A.L. Oversluijs, depicts a silver nautilus cup. The cup is intricately decorated with a figure riding a horse, a triton blowing a conch shell, and a band of relief figures at the top. The cup is supported by a crouching figure. This photo is likely a record of a 16th-century silver cup displayed at an exhibition in Delft in 1863. It is an example of Dutch silverwork and a testament to the skill and artistry of the period.
