Silver beaker engraved on the outside with four figures, two male and two female. The figures stand inside oval medallions. They are likely to be representations of Krishna and Radha, facing each other and repeated alternately. The remainder of the surface consists of a floral design, with a band of scrolling flowers around top and bottom. Each figure holds a lotus flower; Radha also holds a feather. The background has been produced with a ring-ended punch. Turned base.
