Square Cup

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Four small, white, octagonal cups with scalloped edges are arranged in a row. The cups have black designs and writing on them. The left cup shows a person sitting at a table with another person standing beside them. A tree is behind them. The second cup shows a person sitting on a rock. The third cup shows a figure bending over an object on a table or surface. The fourth cup shows vertical Asian-style writing. The background is light-colored and appears to be a table or surface with a wall behind it. The title of the work is "Square Cup" by an unknown artist.
