Wine jug 1633

This pewter wine jug, created by Christopher Lehrl in 1633, is a fine example of Baroque-era craftsmanship. The intricate design on the jug’s body is achieved through the technique of repoussé, where the metal is hammered from the back to create a raised image. The jug is a testament to Lehrl's skill in this intricate art form, showcasing his mastery in shaping and decorating pewter. The piece is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City.
