This alabaster chalice in the form of a lotus is decorated with a whorl of circles and sepals in low relief. The handle is a lotus flower and bud supporting with god Heh, the symbol of eternal life.
The cup bears the names and titles of King Tutankhamun. The text around the rim expresses wishes for the king to live millions of years and to enjoy great happiness.
Now in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo.
