Compare another xuanji of similar form in the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery, Washington D. C., illustrated in Asian Art in the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery, The Inaugural Gift, p.87 no.45. An example in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, is illustrated in their Bulletin, no.2, 1973/74, no.22. Another fine example from the British Museum is illustrated by Rawson, ibid., p.163, no.8:1, beside another piece excavated from Shandong Teng Xian Lizhuang, p.162, fig.5. A xuanji from the collection of Professor Max Loehr was included in the University of Michigan Museum of Art, exhibition of Early Chinese Jades, Catalogue, 1953, no.13, and is illustrated on the cover of the catalogue; it was also included in J.J. Lally and Co. exhibition Catalogue, 1993, fig.24. The Museum of East Asian Art, Bath, England, also has another example, illustrated in Jades from China, p.150, no.61.
