One is a belt plaque with convex front and flat back well carved in openwork with a four-clawed dragon grasping the stem of a flower as it turns its head to look at another flower stem that forms the oval loop at one end. The other plaque is of rounded rectangular shape and is well carved in high relief with a pair of mandarin ducks shown amidst stems of lotus flowers and leaves rising from waves at the bottom and reserved on an openwork ground of scrolling tendrils. The semi-translucent stone is of even white color.
