    "description": "This dull green jade rython cup sits on the horns and tail of a monster-mask near its base.  A tiger headed creature (a feline dragon) peers over its rim and another with a bird tail lifts its head up to the edge of the rim.  A third smaller creature climbs up the cup's side.  The upper portion of the cup presents a band fo incised monster-masks and rui heads.",
