Another Saxon hemispherical flask of the same type and from the same series, most probably all made in Suhl workshops, but the plainest variant of them all; the wrought iron surfaces were blued originally.

Another flask of hemispheric shape and often associated with those used by the Trabanten-Leibgarde of the Electors of Saxony, ca. 1590-1600; the embossed and gilt lion leads charcateristic of the Saxon style.
