Unusual antique two-handled silver trophy cup with cast and hand chased detail including a cavalry horse riding scene depicting a competition of horsemanship inside an arena. There is further decoration of acanthus leaves, fluting, wreaths and garlands, all hand chased, and two cast scrolling handles.

Continuing the equestrian theme, two cast and applied horse heads are featured below the trophy cup's handles.

On the opposite face to the horse riding scene, an elaborately and finely engraved inscription reads:
