Scenes from the Twelve Labors of Hercules were popular iconographic motifs among Limoges enamellers, particularly lending themselves to hexagonal salt cellars in which half the scenes from the cycle could be portrayed sequentially on each side. Three comparable examples of the same format and subject matter can be found in the Louvre each dated to the mid-16^th century and attributed to Pierre Reymond (inv. nos. MR R 155, OA 978a and OA 978b, see Baratte, loc. cit.).
