介绍（中）	根据当代马术手册，这种吹嘴是为锻炼舌头并防止其完全放松而设计的，目的是让马流口水。甜瓜，大肋滚动球，也"解除"嘴唇（它们从栏杆上去除厚厚的嘴唇，马下巴没有牙齿的部分，以便喉舌可以与它们保持接触）。宴会，即颊颊上连接烟嘴的部分，可以打开以切换吹嘴，这是德国盛装舞步特别受欢迎的功能。钻头两侧的两个矩形环用于通过弹簧销连接一对装饰凸起。至于每个柄部底部的两个缰绳环，下部用于连接主皮革缰绳，而上部用于悬挂一对链条缰绳（在皮革断裂时用作备用），这是 16 世纪典型的德国特征。
介绍（英）	According to contemporary equestrian manuals, this mouthpiece was designed for exercising the tongue and preventing it from relaxing completely, with the purpose of making the horse salivate. The melons, the big ribbed rolling balls, also ‘disarm’ the lips (they remove the thick lips from the bars, the part of the horses’ jaw without teeth, so that the mouthpiece can keep contact with them). The banquets, the parts of the cheekpieces where the mouthpiece is attached, can be opened to switch out the mouthpiece, a feature particularly appreciated on dressage bits in Germany. The two rectangular loops on each side of the bit were used to attach, by the mean of spring pins, a pair of ornamental bosses. As for the two rein rings at the bottom of each shanks, the lower one served to attach the main leather reins, while the upper ones used to hang a pair of chain reins (used as a backup if the leather breaks), a typical German feature in the 16th century.
