Beaker, with Dirk Scheij’s Journey from Cologne to Rees along the Rhine River
At the end of December 1626, Dirk Scheij captures a Spanish paymaster in Cologne who is carrying the salaries for all of the Spanish soldiers stationed along the Rhine River. Scheij sails the river to Rees and delivers his loot to Frederick Henry. To record this feat for posterity he has the story of his journey engraved on this beaker. It ends at the bottom with the Dutch lion and an Orange tree in an enclosure: they defend the Republic.
