The base of this fine piece of goldsmith's work (called the Cappenberg Head) rests on four dragon's or lion's heads, above them an octagonal castle wall with four corner turrets. Three angels, kneeling like Atlas figures, support the upper plate with battlements. (A fourth supporting figure is lost.) On it rests the portrait head, which is affixed by means of cast pins to the middle tower of the base. The fact that this head had originally represented Frederick Barbarosssa is confirmed by a donation document.
