Both Phillipe de Champaigne and Pieter Claesz were known for doing still lifes focused on this particular object. A detail of one on Mt. Golgotha was done by Fra Angelico and a teenage boy with an orange-feathered cap is seen in Frans Hals' portrait of a "Youth" with one. Francisco Zurbaran depicted St Francis looking at one of these objects, while another one of these was depicted "with calico roses". A recent sculpture of one of these was titled For the Love of God, and a "Pyramid" of them forms the scene and title of a Paul Cezanne painting. One appears at the bottom of a painting depicting Georges de Selve and Jean de Dentville. For 10 points, name this object which was covered with diamonds by Damien Hirst, a distorted example of which appears in Holbein's The Ambassadors.
