This is an ornate decorative piece that appears to be a nautilus shell cup or drinking vessel. The shell itself is pearlescent and mounted in an elaborate silver or silver-gilt frame with baroque-style decorative elements. The mount features a curving serpentine stem that rises from an ornately decorated base with scrollwork patterns. The top of the shell is adorned with decorative metalwork that includes flourishes and possibly mythological motifs.
