東周 青玉龍紋璜
Prior to the Warring States period, jade huang pendants were generally worn as individual ornaments. They were perforated only at the two ends, with the concave side of the arc facing upward when worn. After the Warring States period, however, many jade huang were worn as components of composite jade pendants. To facilitate this new mode of suspension, an additional perforation was drilled into the convex edge as seen in the present lot, enabling the pendant to be mounted with the convex side uppermost as part of a larger assemblage. For further discussion, see Zhou Nanquan, 'Yuhuang zonglun' (玉璜綜論), in Palace Museum Journal, 1996(3), pp.8-22, p.14.
While many scholars continue to identify pieces like the present lot as huang, others classify the ones suspended with the convex side uppermost as heng (珩), regarding them as a later development of the (璜).
