Compare the white and russet jade thumb ring carved with a similar scene of a figure seated at an open window of a small building in the Palace Museum, Beijing, illustrated in The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum - 42 - Jadeware (III), Hong Kong, 1996, pp. 230-1, no. 187. A rubbing of the thumb ring on p. 231 shows that the ring is inscribed with a poetic inscription followed by Qianlong yuti (Imperial composition of the Qianlong Emperor).
