Description
The small silver cup, which widens slightly upwards in a conical shape, has a lavishly engraved outer wall. The decoration shows an ornamental band with an acanthus tendril framed by double lines under a multi-profiled lip rim. Below this, engraved fruit festoons can be seen all around under draped ribbons with tassels. The foot of the cup is visually set off by a line.
The vessel is partially gilded on the outside and fully gilded on the inside. The letters "AA" are engraved under the base.
