A large mottled grey jade rhyton, possibly from the Ming Dynasty in China. This type of vessel is often carved from Hetian jade, a type of nephrite, and is typically adorned with mythical creatures like dragons or pixiu. Rhytons are ancient drinking horns or vessels, although this piece appears to be a decorative or ceremonial "can goblet" or "beast cup".
The piece features intricate carvings, including a climbing qilong (a mythical creature similar to a dragon) and finely carved cloud volutes. 6"X3"X7"
