The carver has gone to great lengths to depict each of the dragons and chilong in individual detail and with great vigour, even carrying the theme to the bottom of the cup with an unusual chilong roundel.
A bowl from the Edward and Franklin Chow Collections illustrated by J. Chapman, The Art of Rhinoceros Horn Carving in China, London, 1999, p. 155, pl. 189, shares the same intricate design of dragons continuing on the base with a dragon roundel. Compare also an archaistic cup of similar design with various mythical creatures around the sides and a coiled dragon in the recessed base from the Songzhutang Collection, sold at Christie's Hong Kong, 27 May 2008, lot 1725.
