Compare a similar example from the Qing court collection, accession no. guyu001021, illustrated in Betwixt Reality and Illusion: Special Exhibition of Jades from the Warring States Period to the Han Dynasty in the Collection of the National Palace Museum, Taipei, 2020, p.117, no.I-1-03. See another example but with plain surfaces excavated at the Qiujiazhuang tomb, Wenxi county, Shanxi province, illustrated in ibid.(bottom right).
此珮採弓字之形,龍首與尾巴從左右往中央靠攏,但上下振幅卻較大,成就蜿蜒有致之效,有別於春秋時較呈波浪式之玉龍,富強烈動態感。台北故宮博物院清宮舊藏有相類之例,館藏編號:故玉001021,收入《實幻之間:院藏戰國至漢代玉器特展》,台北,2020年,頁117,編號I-1-03。考古發掘器物中也有相近之品,如山西聞喜邱家莊出土玉龍,圖見上註右下,惟龍身素面缺渦紋。
