"Kan in de vorm van een slakkenhuis, gedragen door een sater die tussen twee vogels geknield zit" (1548) by Balthazar van den Bos is an etching that depicts a fantastical, ornate pitcher in the shape of a snail. A satyr is depicted kneeling between two birds, holding up the pitcher's neck, while the body of the pitcher is formed by the spiral shell of a snail. The work is a fine example of the meticulous detail and intricate designs characteristic of 16th century Dutch art. The etching is now held in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
