Pale greenish-white jade cup with two figure handles and carved figures around the bowl, on a gray background.

Cup with Daoist Figures

A pale greenish-white jade cup stands on a footed base, its bowl carved in low relief with small robed figures among rocks and foliage. Two seated figures, carved in the round, form the handles, each reaching toward the rim.

Look closer: A carved key-fret band runs around the foot of the cup.
