Cup with Dragon Handles
A low, rounded jade cup with a domed lid and a small carved finial rests on a footed base. Two openwork handles shaped as dragon heads curl outward from the sides, and a carved character-like motif with pale russet inclusions decorates the body.
Look closer: A small carved character-like motif with a pale russet inclusion on the body's side, visible near the center of the cup.
