Turbo shell with ornate silver gilt mounts in the shape of sea monsters and stylized fish.
This drinking cup was presented by the Dutch West India Company to Piet Hein in recognition of his capture of a fleet of Spanish ships filled with gold and silver in 1649. It had been lost for 227 years until Galerie J. Kugel of Paris recently rediscovered it.
