In the treasure of Bulgar Khan Kuvrat various similar goblets were found, characterised by Greek letters. They were probably part of the booty captured to the Sassanians by the Roman Emperor Heraclius, then transformed in donativa for his ally the Khan Kuvrat. The form has parallels for a wide extension of territory, from the Avar Khaganate until China. -
