The ornate decoration of the cup and medallions on either side is a characteristic feature of Ottoman-Turkish craftsmanship in various branches of metalworking, but also prevalent in ceramics, leatherwork, and bone carvings. Dr. Ervin Pálosi, who has been continuously reporting on excavations at the castle in the local newspaper, wrote the following about the discovery made on September 6: "...a straight-bladed sword from the 15th or 16th century and a covered cup with handle from the early 17th century were found. The surface is decorated with gold ornamentation featuring intricate Persian patterns. A hairpin from the early 18th century, adorned with gems, a pomegranate, and a third semi-precious stone, was also discovered in the cup, along with a silver coin from the Matyska era and 16 coins used for weighing." The cup is made of gold-plated steel and measures 19.4x10.4 cm. Ref.: 52.264.1.
