Along with a wedding and a joust, a scene showing makers of these objects at the end of a 1517 plague appears in the Rat·haus-Glockenspiel in Marienplatz. Every seven years, makers of these objects don red jackets for a circular dance in Munich. An extremely large object of this kind draws tourists to Heidelberg Castle; a normal one might be a kilderkin or a firkin depending on its size. The “angel’s share” vanishes from inside these objects, which are made of staves and have a bung. One of them called Queen of the Mist was used by Annie Edson Taylor.
