On two sides are cavalrymen, Turkish captives and war trophies. Above the arch is a band of inscription: VIVAT CAROLVS. The cap was made in the 19th century. It has an engraved CB monogram and an inscription: "Souvenir d' amitie". The pipe was probably made in memory of the Peace of Pozsarevac signed between Charles VI (1711—1740) and Achmet III (1703— 1730), in 1718.
