Frankenthal 'Provender for the Monastery' scent bottle and stopper. It is modelled as a monk wearing a brown habit, holding a chicken, and supporting on his back a wheat sheaf revealing the head, arms and dangling iron-red shoes of a young girl. The stopper is formed by the monk's head. The stopper neck is mounted in gold, and the bottle neck is mounted in gilt-metal.
