The large sized cup with an elegantly proportioned tapering body raised on a splayed foot, the exterior well carved in shallow relief around the mid-section with a band of stylized archaistic motif, further intricately decorated in high relief with seven playful sinuous chilongs, one end with a fine openwork with four of them clambering up the handle two of which peering over the rim with the largest dragon going through the handle ring of the cup, each side with one chilong and the front with one further chilong looking on the side to see the companion, the exterior and the top rim with a key-fret band above a conforming stepped well. In very good conditions, apart a few very minute chips as we can see from the image around the mouth rim.
