About this work

A waffle and cookie iron for circular waffles and cookies. One circular side shows centrally the Last Supper with Christ and eleven apostles seen from above at a round table with plates, knives, and chalices. Around it stands the inscription: DRINK.UND.IS.DANEBEN.GOT.NIT.VERGIS.VOLG.CRISTUM.SEINER.LERS.WIERST.VERLOREN.NIMER.ME.(R?). The other circular side shows two coats of arms, one with a goat and one with a bird (stork?), with a crested helmet above them. Between the helmets stands the year 1569. Around this central piece stands the inscription: HANNS.ORTNER.SIBILLA.STAININGERIN.SEIN.HAUSFRAU. The outer sides of the circular plates and handles are undecorated. At the bottom of one handle is a hook that can be attached to the other handle.
