Claudius Tazza
A gilded silver tazza, a shallow footed bowl with a chased and engraved rim and well, rising on a fluted baluster stem to a spreading foot. A small standing figure, probably a classical god, stands at the center of the bowl on a short post. The gleaming surface catches light across the bowl and base.
Look closer: Fine chased pattern covering the inner well of the bowl, visible only on close look.
