Description: This antiquarian work will be undoubtedly interesting for any collector as it is a museum quality piece. Created during the Soviet Union epoch, it is a relic that introduces the viewer with the peculiarities of that time. Using the propaganda of "struggle for happy future", the Soviet government stimulated labor of workers of factories, plants and collective farms with such prizes. There was a wide range of various rewards including orders, medals, honorary certificates and diplomas, banners, and victorious cups like this interesting and rare specimen.
The cup is made out of metal, and decorated with miniature painting, and metal decorative elements. All paintings are produced with the help of gold, silver, and tempera paints of various tones. The metal decorative elements are made in the form of sunflowers, different plants, leaves, beads and scrolls. At the top of the cup there is a metal star with the crossed reaping hook and the hammer engraved in the middle
