Description
CHINA, QING DYNASTY (1644–1911) A flared libation cup carved from horn with a nuanced brown patina; the body is richly decorated in high relief with a continuous design depicting qilong dragons winding their way through stylised cloud scrolls. The upper rim and base are framed by friezes of Greek patterns and archaic geometric motifs; the handle is formed by the relief of a stylised dragon clinging to the rim. 19th-century work, with minor wear and natural cracks in the horn. Dimensions: 10 x 6.5 cm
