Notes

The pair probably are "entertainers"  seated at the side waiting for their turn to perform. Note the following:

01. This Jade performer is perhaps a young girl with the wide-eyed and naive facial expressions and the male may be the male relative.

02.The dress is long sleeved with a front V tucked in.

03.Again there is a hole bored from top to bottom.

04.The hairstyle of two pigtails pulled to the back again emphasises a young person .

These Jades although not Nephrite but  pseudo Jades are nevertheless important extant evidence of Ancient China customs and lifestyles.
