Focus on Cup with cover and analyze the Example.
A prime example of another Coconut Cup with Old Testament Scenes on it was made by Cornelis de Bye in 1598. The coconuts they used for this came from Africa and the East Indies and they would mount the coconut on a shiny silver mount. On this particular cup it had a marking that read,"Drunkenness is the root of all evil." This relates to the writing on the coconut that was created by Hans Van Amsterdam. The story of Lot and his daughters, Samson and the Lion, and David and Bathsheba were all told on this famous Coconut cup.
