~ Trag deinen Affen mit Geduld ~
 
The monkey (Affen) (cognate is "ape") is the symbol of a hangover and the one on the set-on lid is holding a stein of Hofbräu beer probably not the first of the day. This relief stein is marked "1199 Germany 8", ca. 1900.
 
Trag deinen Affen mit Geduld
in dem bist du nun selber Schuld.
Bear your "hangover" with patience
(because) you only have yourself to blame.
