Gilded Bronze Double Cups with Turquoise Inlay
Height: 11.2 cm
Width: 9.5 cm
The bird-like creature in the center of this double cup holds a white jade ring in its mouth and its feet are planted on another animal. It has been cast as a single piece.
The neck, belly and surface of the cups are inlaid with 13 pieces of round or heart-shaped turquoise. Inside the cups traces of red materials were found at the time of excavation which the experts believed to be cosmetics.
