The cup has a steeply conical shape that widens towards the rim. The surface covered with geometric motives and three medallions. At the center of the first medallion is a griffin, which is depicted with its head raised and its beak open. To the right of the griffin features a leopard. The animal is shown with its right paw raised. The counterpart to this medallion also depicts a leopard striding from left to right. However, this particular medallion is incomplete, as the front paws are missing. The animal is shown with its head raised and its tail held in an S-shape. Between the medallions are floral decorated with heart-shaped and trifoliate leaves.
