A translucent jade cup, pale green in color, takes a broad, roughly squared shape with a rounded base. The upper half is textured with a grid of small, raised bumps, while the lower portion displays intricate, interlocking swirls. A large, mottled patch of opaque cream and brown stone occupies the left, disrupting the glassy sheen. These earthy inclusions contrast with the delicate stone, highlighting the vessel's weathered, ancient character.
