Gold acorn cup, c1610. Cup in the shape of an acorn, with two rams holding up a coat of arms, surmounted by the Latin inscription 'IHS', short for 'In Hoc Signo', (by this sign). Gold and silver cups have always been highly prized for their symbolic value as well as that of the metal. They were frequently given as marriage or diplomatic gifts, or were especially commissioned as evidence of wealth or social status. By the end of the sixteenth century cups came in all sizes and shapes, often deliberately fantastical. Naturalistic forms were also popular, such as animals and birds, or gourds, apples, pears, nuts and acorns.
