Mathis Zündt

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a pear-shaped bottle with a narrow neck and a trophy of arms. The bottle has a bulbous body with a narrow neck that tapers to a small opening. The body of the bottle is adorned with intricate designs and patterns. There are symmetrical curved lines on both sides of the bulb. A circular emblem in the center of the bulb features a crest. The crest appears to have a crown on top and two figures on either side. The neck of the bottle has more intricate designs. A small figure sits on top of the neck. The base of the bottle is decorated with a pattern. The background of the image is off-white with darker areas suggesting shading. The image is a black and white drawing or engraving.
