The cup shaped like a beer mug, consists of a container, a cover and a handle. The cylindrical container is supported by a wide ringed-base decorated with different fruit between foliate motives. The cylindrical container is decorated entirely with flowers and leaves in which three Biblical scenes are interlaced; The sacrifice of Isaac (14016); Moses at the burning bush (14017); Abraham and the three angels (14018). The base of the flattened dome cover is decorated with a pattern identical to the base of the container. A floral pattern tops the cover. It is surmounted by a rampant lion with an elevated tail which presents on its front legs a sheild with an unidentified family sign. The scroll like handle is attached to the cover by a decorative hinge.
