The goblet was found in 1987 by Vahan Hovhannisyan[1] in the village of Karashamb, in the Kotayk province, during the excavation of a tomb from the Bronze Age.

The priests are bringing a male deer to the altar, which has an image of a crescent highlighted under his belly as a sacrificial symbol.

The purpose of the ceremony was to claim victory against the enemy that was being fought, which was represented by images of men with spears and drawn swords.

In the third frieze, the main character is the king again, sitting on the throne, with a sack in his hand, a disk symbolizing the sun on his head to emphasize his divine origin.

[3] The leg of the goblet is completely dedicated to the sixth frieze, where there is pictured only a lion with his pack and leopard couples.

[3] Part of the goblet's decoration includes the lions' and leopards' frequent recurrent pictures linked to Indo-European mythology with ancient symbolism.
