Pottery or stoneware, relief, 1.5L, pewter lid.
Text:
(�Sauf bis dir die Nase gl�nzt hell wie ein Karfunkel,
hast auch eine Leuchte dann in des Daseins Dunkel.�)
(Drink till your nose shines brightly like a carbuncle,
then you will have a light in the dark of your existence.)
The ��11� visible on the front of the beer barrel makes reference to the Bier-Comment (beer code) of Heidelberg University, which begins with paragraph 11. Paragraphs 1 through 10 are left blank and are generally presumed to be the Biblical ten commandments. Paragraph 11 of the Heidelberg code reads: �Es wird fortgesoffen,� which is often (if loosely) translated as �Keep on drinking.�
