Coconut cup 1609 - 1610

Evert Willems' "Coconut Cup" (1609-1610) is a striking example of Renaissance craftsmanship. The cup, carved from a coconut shell, showcases intricate carvings and is mounted on an elaborately adorned silver stand. The lid features a figure, likely a representation of a mythological figure, further enhancing the cup's visual appeal. The cup's unique design reflects the growing interest in exotic materials and distant cultures during the Renaissance era.
