This piece is typical of Shang and Western Zhou naturalism, the crouching rabbit rendered in profile. Unlike known Shang jades that favor flat forms and double-line decor, this Western Zhou piece is characterized by modeling in the round. Also typically Western Zhou is the tendency to lengthen the ears by extending them back over the animal's body. Western Zhou examples are represented by excavated finds from Tomb No. 1 at Xincun, Xun County, Henan, Xinxian Xincun, Beijing, 1964, pl. CII:8. Other early Western Zhou jade rabbits are known in excavations from Gaojiabao, Jingyang County, Shaanxi, Wenwu, 1972.7, fig. 9:3, p. 7. An identical piece to the Sackler example comes from Rujiazhuang, Baojishi, Shaanxi, that was excavated in 1974, Zhongguo meishu quanqi: Yuqi, vol. 9, pl. 93. Comparative earlier Shang period rabbits are known from Fu Hao's burial, M5 at Anyang, Yinxu Fu Hao mu, fig. 84:5, 6, p. 161, pl. CXXXVIII:3; and from other burials at Xiaotun, Anyang, Henan, see Kaogu xuebao, 1979:1, pl. XVII:3, center and right middle, p. 101
