Beaker 1622

"Beaker" is a silver drinking cup made by Andreas Pauli in 1622, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. The intricate design, typical of the artist's style, features engraved floral patterns and a central motif likely depicting a religious or mythological scene. This small, delicate piece exemplifies 17th-century German silversmithing and its meticulous craftsmanship.
