    Description

    67 years ago, in 1953, one of our family friend was on a business trip in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, in the former USSR. He said he wanted to buy Russian antiques, and the hotel floor manager fetched him an old woman who brought this mug.
    A long time ago, much befor 1900, her grandfather brought this mug during a war in the region and said he was an Armenian, Georgian or Jewish "devilish cup", belonging to an old Armenian or Jewish royal family which glorifying the King of the Demons Beelzebub. The tankard gives an unseen power to the one who sipped from it and looks at the demon in the eyes.
    The inscription on the shield is unknown to me, he celebrates Beelzebub and looks to be probably Armenian.
    On the tankard lid, a skull with crossed bones is placed over red enamel.
    15 years ago I showed the mug of a professor at the National Museum of History. The professor told me that the language of the shield (placed over red enamel) is probably Armenian, the tree of life is depicted, some old Masonic symbols, labrys (double ax, a symbol of ruler-god-supreme priest), also "All-seeing eye" or "Eye of Providence" is depicted on the wall of the mug...
    At the bottom of the mug, on the inside, it is obvious that Beelzebub himself is depicted, hand engraved on the bottom.
    I noticed some symbol looks like Star of David (Jewish star) on the shield. Also, there is some unknown for me marking on the tankard wall, looks the same language.
    I checked the mug with a jeweler, unfortunately it is NOT SILVER or pewter, it is silver-plated alpaca or silver-plated brass / latun. Also, I rubbed one corner lightly, the metal underneath has a yellow tinge.
    It would have been too good to be solid silver... :-))
    That's all I know about this very unusual and strange "devilish" tankard, which glorifying Beelzebub and the Satan...
