This one is simple - it's a goblet! Unknown artist, but distributed by
the LEO Graphics BBS circa 1990.

Is this the BBS that watermarked so so many EGA GIFs back in the day?
There was this one BBS that did, but I’m not sure it was LEO. I had an
Amiga 2000 at the time (‘89) and download ed so many EGA GFIs as the
Amiga could view them perfectly, despite their being of a paltry 64
color palette. With “sliced HAM” mode the Amiga ECS/OCS could do a
bang up job of MCGA GIFS, far nicer than the higher res EGA. Ahh, BBS
memories.

And as EVERYONE online back then knows —- GIF has a SOFT “G”!
