Cup with lid, Egypt, Late Period (525-332 BCE)

Hongshan culture, (c. 4000–3000 BCE) prehistoric culture of far northern China. It appears to have had a three-tiered elite whose members were honoured with complex burials. Painted pottery found there may link it to Yangshao culture, while its beautiful jade artifacts link it to other jade-working cultures on the eastern coast, such as Liangzhu (c. 3300–2200 BCE).
