Cover for Wine Cup

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photo of a silver goblet with a lid. The goblet is made of silver and has a wide, rounded body that tapers slightly towards the top. A decorative etching of a wreath surrounds an illegible inscription. The goblet has a short stem with a decorative base and a domed lid with a small finial on top. The goblet is sitting on a flat surface, and the background is plain white. The cover for Wine Cup, by an unknown artist, shows a silver goblet with a lid.
