The statuettes resemble the bizarre mannerist objects of virtue constructed of the combination of different materials. They stand on a jointed foot enclosed with red and blue glass beads, showing an innkeeper and his wife with a beer mug and with a skewer and roast poultry. Their upper part is shaped of a mother-of-pearl shell, decorated with a silver band enriched with glass beads.
