Purcell says that the jar at right is filled with miscellany that arrived at the Leiden museum around the time of van Heurn's death. Like a warped Garden of Eden, it contains a snake and a double apple, as well as a frog and a toad, a fetal pig, a shrew, a mole, and cat guts.

Purcell used long tweezers to rearrange the objects in the jar, strengthening the visual relationships between them—curating where van Heurn had not. On the snake's body, you can also see the slight reflections of nearby buildings, suggesting a way in which the architectural can be subsumed by the organic.
