Buffet
Wooden body with terrace-shaped structure, various ore steps and serrated peaks. The carved and painted animals (unicorn, two jumping horses, buck, chamois, deer) distributed a group with the figure of playing Orpheus, supplemented by flowers and fruits made of wire and fabric. The base with a hinged door shows caryatids at the corner, between them a Bachus procession. The furniture, which serves as a gift table, is designed to hold 20 goblets. From a side opening of the mountain, guarded by a miner, the equestrian figure of a Roman knight with a raised goblet jumps out, wearing a tin armour and velvet clothing, the riding gear is embroidered.
