A tall, slightly tapered (conical) disposable cup of paraffin-waxed paperboard, seamed up one side and open at the top (capacity on the order of a half-liter), now aged to a mottled cream with paraffin discoloration and staining. It is printed in two colors (terracotta/orange and blue): the word "CARNAVAL" runs vertically in blue block capitals down one side, and a cartoon shows a man — blue trousers and shoes, white shirt, orange hair — striding while holding up a foaming glass of beer, with small comic stars/squiggles around him. No brand name or maker text is visible. This is a "perga," the paraffined-paper cup used to serve beer and malta sold by the cup (a granel) at Cuban carnivals.
