Told at time purchase that this piece was professionally restored from 19 original pieces.  Appears intact, but in raking light some repairs can be seen.  Other than minor abrasions to one of the faces, it is absolutely breathtaking.  Each side shows a mirrored image of a warrior in a long checkered garment with a weapon in each hand.  Two protruding handles and rim have a diamond shaped pattern.  Multiple tones of colors, as seen in pictures.  Approximately 7 1/2 inches tall, 8 3/4 inches in width (including handles).  Provenance; SW private collection.
