Silver book cover from the collection of Albrecht Hohenzollern and his wife Anna Maria

The upper and lower covers are very similar to each other. In the center of the covers, there are medallions surrounded by a laurel leaf wreath, enclosed by a convex fluted border with heads of lions, masks, fruits, and stylized leaves. On the upper cover, in the center of the medallion, there is an armed rider on a rearing horse, cutting down a tree trunk; on the lower cover, a knight in armor is riding a horse leaping into the abyss.
