DescriptionThe goblet is a candy red symmetrical vessel with comic book style depictions of Zoro painted onto the bowl and foot. Zoro has his gun pulled with finger wrapped on the trigger facing the viewer. Progressive panels show another man being shot with bullet wounds in the head and back and the words, “BAM.” The stem of the goblet features white horizontal stripes. The foot of the piece has a close up of Zoro’s victim grimacing in classis comic book paneling.
