Image description

Eastern Zhou dynasty, Warring States period (475–221 B.C.) The state of Chu, noted for lacquer, was the major cultural force in south central China. The playful, thin lines on this winged cup are a later stylized version of the traditional cloud-dragon motif. The two large winglike appendages are described as "ears", and cups of this type are generally termed "ear-cups," or erbei.
