    Hello everyone,

    I recently came across this intriguing antique silver cup and I’m curious to learn more about its age, origin, and historical context. The cup features intricate designs and craftsmanship, but I'm having a hard time identifying specific symbols or inscriptions due to their intricacy and the wear over time.

    Key Details:
    - Material: Silver
    - Design: Features intricate geometric and floral patterns
    - Symbols/Inscriptions: Not clearly identifiable from the images

    I’m particularly interested in understanding:
    - The estimated age of the cup
    - Possible cultural or historical context of the designs and craftsmanship
    - Any identifiable symbols or inscriptions and their meanings
    - The potential region or civilization where it might have originated

    I would greatly appreciate any insights, interpretations, or recommendations on where I could get more information. Thank you in advance for your expertise and assistance!

      I think it may be part of a sireh set?
