Cup

The image shows a large ornate cup with a stem. The cup's body is divided into two main sections: the bowl and the stem. The bowl is wide and flared. A scene of people in old fashioned clothing is depicted on the bowl. The stem is wide at the base and narrows where it meets the bowl. The base of the stem features ornate designs, including a band of dots and curved shapes. The cup appears to be made of metal. The background of the image is light gray.
