Stilleven, trompe-l'oeil, met vogelkooitje en andere jachtattributen In a plain, knotty wooden frame fixed to a neutral grey wall are two boards supporting an upturned shotgun with a flintlock and a so-called `Dutch butt'. A wooden cage containing a decoy bird hangs from the barrel of the gun, a cow's horn serving as a drinking vessel. A white bag reinforced with two sticks is hanging from a nail in the middle, with nets (probably clap nets for trapping birds) sticking out on both sides. A red strap can be seen between the bag and the cage. Under the cage is a white game bag with blue-and-white embroidery along the seams. In front of it is a brown sheath containing a dagger and knife with a handle of white horn (possibly a hunting set). Hanging from three nails on the left are a cord attached to two metal decoy whistles for songbirds, a pouch with stoppered nozzle (for shot?), and a leather thong with two round decoy whistles and two black whistles for decoying quails, the mouthpiece of the one made of bone, the other from a crab's pincer. On the right a powder horn on a knotted leather thong, and on the far right a knotted net and a leather pouch on a strap.
