| Description |  |
Nefs, silver vessels in the form of a ship, marked the place at the table of the master f house. They served as drinking vessels and sometimes as containers for salt and spices. In early seventeenth-century Nürnberg it had become customary to give them as wedding gift. Linden was a specialist in nefs. More than fifty similar vessels from his workshop are known today. Some of the silver figures on the deck of the ship are later additions.
