Three scenes from the apocryphal story of Tobit fill the larger medallions. One of them shows Tobias who, accompanied by the archangel Raphael, carries a large fish to cure his father Tobits blindness. Although not accepted by the Calvinist church, Tobits story of steadfast faith inspired many artists including Rembrandt. Grape ornament suggests that this beaker was used for drinking wine, possibly during Communion.. Beaker with three scenes from the Story of Tobit.
