The image is of an ancient looking, two-handled drinking cup, often referred to as a kantharos. This cup is black in color with a matte finish and appears to be made of ceramic or clay. It has a rounded bowl supported by a stemmed base, which flares into a foot at the bottom, giving it stability. The two handles are tall and arch up above the rim of the cup, curving back down to connect at the midsection of the bowl. The surface of the cup shows some decorative elements, including a band design etched around its circumference just below the rim, suggesting it may have been a piece of decorative tableware or used for special occasions or rituals. Its specific age or origin is not clear from the image, but its design is reminiscent of ancient Greek or Roman pottery.
