A SILVER OCTAGONAL 'PHOENIX' CUP
LATE TANG-LIAO DYNASTY, 9TH-12TH CENTURY
The cup is finely chased with a large phoenix standing amidst leafy scrolling foliage that continues around the sides between bands of saw-tooth pattern, all on a fine ring-punched ground. The foot is similarly decorated and the base is engraved with a central flower head. The looped, leaf-shaped handle issues from a trefoil, foliate terminal attached to the side.
2 ½ in. (6.4 cm.) high; weight 112 g
