| 15 | "i would like to know, please, the description of what a goblet looks like. Thank You!"
Answer
Hello,
The actual shape of goblets are not specifically described anywhere within the series, except at times, it is also called a cup. What the books do tell us is that, except for one that is said to be of bosk horn, goblets are made of metal. Some of which are even heavy ornate metal goblets, primitive and barbaric. At least some have five rings on the outside. There are also tall precious goblets.
Some goblets made from silver and some of these are studded with rubies.
There are also goblets of gold, or even heavy gold, some cunningly wrought.
Below are now the different book references which describe goblets.
Fogaban
My hand clenched on the metal goblet.

Kamchak and I waited until the string had been chewed. When Kamchak had finished he held out his right hand and a man, not a Tuchuk, who wore the green robes of the Caste of Physicians, thrust in his hand a goblet of bosk horn; it contained some yellow fluid. Angrily, not concealing his distaste, Kutaituchik drained the goblet and then hurled it from him.

Before them had been placed large golden dishes heaped with delicacies prepared by the kitchens of the Ubar, tall precious goblets filled with Turian wines, the small bowls of spices and sugars with their stirring spoons at hand.

A number of men crowded between the tables then and some dice, inked knucklebones of the verr, were soon rattling in a metal goblet.
. . .
I then moved into the center of the gambling men and, not speaking, as they looked up, angry at the intrusion, I took the metal goblet containing the knucklebones from the man who held it.

I thrust out the silver paga goblet, studded with rubies, and Telima, standing beside my thronelike chair, filled it. I did not look upon her.

He extended his goblet to me. "Drink," he said, offering me the cup.
Captive of Gor Book 7 Page 302
It is said they appear as though from nowhere to pillage, and to burn and rape, and then, among the flames, as quickly, vanish to their swift ships, carrying their booty with them, whether it be bars of silver, or goblets of gold, or silken sheets, knotted and bulging with plate, and coins and gems, or merely women, bound, their clothing torn away, whose bodies they find pleasing.

No longer was it set with festive yellow and scarlet cloths, woven in distant Tor; no longer did it bear the freight of plates of silver from the mines of Tharna, nor of cunningly wrought goblets of gold from the smithies of luxurious Turia, Ar of the south. It was long since I had tasted the fiery paga of the Sa-Tarna fields north of the Vosk. Now, even the wines from the vineyards of Ar seemed bitter to me.
Marauders of Gor Book 9 Page 1
A goblet was fetched. It was of heavy gold.
Marauders of Gor Book 9 Page 22
I had never kissed a boy on Earth with the helplessness and passion that I bestowed upon the mere goblet of my Gorean captor. I belonged to him. I was his. I loved him! I felt the metal of the cup beneath my full, pressing lips.

She carried a metal goblet, and, slowly, in stately fashion, descended the steps to the ground, approaching Thurnus. She lifted the cup to him.

On the coffee table, before him, there was a decanter of wine and a heavy, ornate metal goblet. I had never seen a goblet of that sort. It was so primitive and barbaric.
. . .
There were five rings on the outside of the goblet.
. . .
I held the round, heavy metal against me, below my brassiere.
Fighting Slave of Gor Book 14 Page 18
"I do not wish to come home with you now," she said, lightly, a bit of Ka-la-na spilling from the silver goblet she held.
Rouge of Gor Book 15 Page 157
She reached to the wine, a sweet Ka-la-na of Ar, and filled the goblet to the third ring.
. . .
I then, crouching beside her, my hand in her hair, controlling her, gave her to drink from the goblet, letting her finish the last ring.
Guardsman of Gor Book 16 Page 301
Some authorities recommend breaking the kantharos into shards on the face, taking the target above the bridge of the nose with the rim. This can be even more dangerous with a metal goblet. Many civilians, I believe, do not know why certain warriors, by habit, request their paga in metal goblets when dining in public houses.
