This is a flattened disk-shaped high cup with a wide spread base with a two-tiered openwork, on which seven lid cups are placed, one in the center and six on the periphery. The lid is of a common form with a flattened circular shape, with a widened base starting at the shoulder level and a corresponding short inward-sloping lip on the body of the cup, indicating that it dates to the latter half of the 6th century.
