The two circular ornaments with notched edges, and scrolls carved on both sides, are similar to one dated to the Warring States period, excavated from Tomb No. 1 (Burial Mound No. 19) at Shitangzhen, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, illustrated by Gu Fang, The Complete Collection of Jades Unearthed in China, vol. 8, Beijing, 2005, p. 166, which has notched outer and inner edges.
