Footed Cup with Falconer
In this freely drawn design a man holds two lures used in the training of falcons; below them two birds appear. Contemporary travelers' accounts describe large hunting parties living for months in tents in the countryside. Laws regulating the ownership of birds of prey further attest to the popularity of hawking on medieval Cyprus.
