Pottery, relief, 0.5L, figural lid (monkey), figural handle (cat), signed �KB� (Anton Killian �Karl� Beuler).
Text:
�Der Kater laut Erfahrung stirbt am sauren Harung.�
(The tomcat, according to experience, dies from sour herring.)
To appreciate the meaning of the text, it must be understood that the tomcat (Kater) is both a German symbol and idiomatic expression for a hangover; pickled herring an alleged cure.
