Compare the Warring States jade dragon plaque of similar shape in the Freer Gallery of Art and illustrated by T. Lawton, Chinese Art of the Warring States Period: Change and Continuity, 480-222 B.C., Washington, D.C., 1982, p. 151, no. 97. Like the present pendant, the Freer plaque features finely incised designs suggesting scales and fur, but lacks the two small bird-dragons supported on the tail of the present pendant. Lawton suggests the circular aperture at the mouth may have been used to suspend the plaque.
