Roemer with lid of green glass with four rows of blackberry knobs on the stem. On the junction of the bowl and the stem a pinched band. The bowl is decorated in diamond engraving with a representation of the Lamb of God in a medallion and a four-line German text: ALLEIN AUFF GOTT SETS DEIN VERTRAUEN, AUFF MENSCHEN HILFF SOLLEN NICHT BAUEN, GOTT IST ALLEIN DER GLAUBEN HELLT, SONST IST KEIN GLAUB MEHR IN DER WELT. Below: Ao 1659. Between medallion and inscription flower and leaf motifs in Renaissance style. Along the top and bottom of the bowl a narrow wavy border and a row of fleurs-de-lis are applied. This decoration is repeated on the lid. Note: roemer broken and glued; knob of lid missing.
