Summary
A cup from a cup and ball game. The cup is made from turned wood and it has a worn and dirty handle. The handle is connected by a wooden neck to the cup itself. Just underneath the cup is a drilled hole where the string and ball would have gone. The top and bottom ends of the handle are marked with four decorative grooves. Two similar grooves decorate the rim of the cup.
