Beast-Head-Shaped Agate Cup (Tang Dynasty)

Unearthed in 1970 at Hejia Village, Xi'an. With an exotic style, this cup was made in the shape of a beast's head. It has an antelope-head-shaped handle. If the gold on its mouth was removed, wine could flow out of the mouth. It was regarded as proof of the cultural exchange between China and other nations during the Tang Dynasty.
