From ancient Yophenthean language, an ancuvetácodh is a vessel for holding the sacred cuvétar. The ancuvetácodh was often ornately enriched and became an object of veneration in its own right, displayed in the Temple of Arathrax as the outward representation that the cuvétar was present in the echteal or holy wash basin.

Today few authentic cuvétars remain and there are many more ancuvetácodhs extant. Some of the more famous ones include the Siulian ancuvetácodhs with their ornate depiction of the treaty between the goddess ruler of Siul, Dáwan, and Saint Erreagea, regent of Yophenthea. The finest example of these is the Braffgrum Ancuvetácodh[1] in the Heliotheological Museum of Amyrn.
