A silver-gilt cup cover features a hemispherical dome enameled in teal-green and decorated with dark purple swans and grapevines. A gold-colored figure of a nude woman stands atop a pearl-encircled pedestal, facing us and raising an oval red gemstone high above her head. Below, a gilded rim is set with alternating circular purple and square green stones. Intricate foliage motifs and a central blue stripe fill the remaining space on the ornate surface.
