"A short stout man stands on tip-toe by a table to drink from a large punch-bowl which he tilts forwards. Behind him stands a skeleton (right), its left hand on his shoulder, its right holding up a dart which it is about to plunge into the head of the drinker. An hour-glass where sands have run out is on the ground at his feet. The table (left) is a small round one, on it are a wine glass and pipe."--British Museum online catalogue
