Oval Cup Stand with Animal Masks
An oval white jade stand with a recessed central well, its surface marked by dark russet veins and incised with key-fret borders and interlocking scrolls. The fine linear carving forms bands of spirals and stylized motifs around the rim and central field, and two small seal-like characters are inscribed in the well.
Look closer: Two small seal-like characters are inscribed in the central well.
