Pottery, etched, 0.5L, pewter lid.

Second in set of three, with Nos. 490 and 492 (not currently available), based on the poem �Altassyrisch� (Old Assyrian) by Josef Viktor von Scheffel (1826-1886), which tells the story of a student who eats and drinks at a tavern named the Black Whale, until he is confronted with a bill which he cannot pay, at which point he is unceremoniously ejected. The two scenes on this stein illustrate the third and fourth verses of the poem.
