Description

A straight-sided cup with a slightly flared rim, photographed upright against a grey backdrop. Horizontal raised bands run around the upper and lower wall, and a rope-like border sits at the foot. The centre of the wall carries several lines of raised letters, flanked by a wreath-like pattern, with a round medallion on the left side.
