Content (description)

The strainer is to left, with its handle to right. It is pierced with holes in such a way as to form arabesques and scale patterns. The handle with its figures is in fact not included.
Across the top is the full inscription:
Dessein au naturel d'une piece antique et singuliere de cuivre, trouvee depuis peu d'annees aux environs de Rome, proposee au curieux de l'antiquite par Marc Mayr, affin qu'il leur plaise de dire leur sentiment a quel usage cette Piece pouvoit servir chez les Anciens, et de donner l'explication sur les figures en relief avec argent de raport qui sont representees sur sa manche.
