This is a drawing of an ornate cup design. The drawing features an intricately decorated cup with elaborate patterns and motifs. The upper part of the cup is adorned with curvilinear scrollwork and a central mask-like face with human features surrounded by symmetrical winged forms.

Below the cup are additional decorative elements, including two smaller mask motifs on either side and letters "G" and "W".
