Notes

The Han Dynasty also have Jade Pendant Components and this is one of them. Note the following:

01.The Jade plaque is oblong in shape with both sides filled with cloud pattern design.

02. The cloud patterns are not flat incised,but with a curvature to each to give it a dimensional look.

03. There is a hole drilled from top to bottom.

04. The Jade is greenish and translucent.

After the Han Dynasty,elaborate composite pendants disappeared.So,this is an extant specimen of these components that were so in vogue in the Warring States and Han Dynasty.
