Square Cup with Handle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Two square cups with handles. Cups are white with black designs. Each cup has a thick black line around the top edge. The handles are on either side, shaped like animals with their mouths open and tails curled. The handles are attached to the sides of the cups. The front of each cup has a square design with a black border. Inside the border, there are people and trees. The left cup shows one person sitting and another person to their right. The right cup shows two people sitting and one person standing. Cups have three small feet at the bottom. Cups are shown on a flat surface, with a light-colored wall in the background.
