The article is devoted to the find of the unique glass vessel with the enamel painting in the burial 1 of the barrow 23 of the burial ground Lebedevka V in the Western Kazakhstan. The context of the find examined thoroughly allows its dating to the middle of the 3rd c. AD. of the main attention was paid to the description and attribution of the glass vessel with the depiction of four gladiators. It belongs to the group of vessels of an exquisite quality, which were very likely to be produced in the Near East, and bears a strong resemblance to piece found in the Treasury of Begram (Afghanistan). The dating of these vessels is arguable. Different researches suggest dates within the late 1st - the first half of the 3rd cc. AD. The context of find from Lebedevka gives only terminus ante quem for the vessel and does not allow to precise its dating in the above mentioned chronological frames. However, taking into consideration that such a fragile piece of art is unlikely to be kept and passed on from generation to generation in the nomadic community both its late dating within these period and correspondingly the dating of the goblet from Begram to the second half of the 2nd c. AD are pre-ferrable. In conclusion, the find is considered in the context of the numerous import items of the western and eastern origin found in the excavation of the Lebedevka barrow-mounds.
