It contains registers telling a story of the Peddler and the Apes. The story itself tells about  apes robbing a peddler with the apes symbolizing"  lower human behavior"
It was popular during this time period because there was a conflict between prosperous merchants and the aristocracy. the aristocracy did not view the merchants in good standing and judged them to be low lives making a quick buck rather than hard workers. So the story was very popular among the aristocrats to imply that only apes would buy from low-life merchants. 
This vessel was used as a story of the time it was created to tell about the world around it.
