Silver cup with a wide mouth and slightly tapering body. A design etched on the front features a kneeling figure with a hat, holding a staff with a curved end. The cup has a plain, slightly everted rim. The background of the image is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. The cup casts a shadow on the surface below it.
