Two silver goblets feature deep, rounded bowls decorated with relief scrollwork and human faces in circular medallions. On our right, a winged child's face looks forward. Slender stems with ribbed, bulbous centers descend to flared bases ornamented with shell and floral motifs. Light reflects off the silver surfaces, while dark oxidation gathers in the recessed details of the intricate patterns.
