Description
This unusual handmade cup sits on top of a polished handcut branch base with three legs. The metal cup part features a man sitting with four men standing on his left. They all face him and have an arm up. On the other side of the man are three men standing and holding canes in front of them. Their heads all face the man sitting. The man sitting has a large hat on that is a round domed shape. His legs are spread open, he is wearing full pants, with a "skirt" of sorts from his waist to his knees. This is I presume some type of ceremonial Cup. Any thoughts anyone?
