Black and white photograph of a short, wide metal cup with an everted rim. The cup has a flat, four-sided base. The body of the cup is divided into four panels separated by raised lines. Each panel features an embossed design. The designs on the left and right panels appear to depict trees with foliage and fruit; the front and back panels appear to show a plant with large flowers or fruit. The cup's surface exhibits signs of wear and aging. The background of the image is plain white. The cup is titled "Cup" and attributed to an unspecified artist.
