Chinese White Jadeite Beast Afterlife Cup - $1,500 - (Richmond, VA)

Beautiful artifact - a white jadeite afterlife beast cup I believe dates from the Han Dynasty (206 BCE – 220 CE). Shows a small, flat-faced creature crawling up the cup's side and is adorned with various images and writing on the sides. The engraving is excellent, far more detailed than many such pieces. It's in excellent condition with some natural erosion but no noticeable damage. Measures 4 1/2 inches long, 3 1/4 inches wide, and 2 3/4 inches deep. PB1-37
