This silver goblet, crafted by Abraham Valck between 1625 and 1626, stands 49.5 centimeters tall and boasts a diameter of 17.5 centimeters. The ornate design features a series of cameos depicting mythological figures, set within a detailed floral and figural framework. The goblet's base is supported by three stylized feet and features a central design of three intertwined figures. The intricate detail and masterful craftsmanship of the silverwork are hallmarks of the Dutch Golden Age, a period known for its artistic and cultural flourishing.

This exceptionally lavish cup is decorated with ancient cameos – relief carvings in banded or stratified quartz. The lid is set with images of Classical gods, while those on the goblet have profile portraits of ancient rulers and Roman emperors.
