Parrot was a very popular motif on fine ceramic wares of the late Tang and Northern Song dynasties, and can also be found on a number of silver and gold wares, such as the famous Tang-dynasty gilt-silver lidded jar with handle excavated in 1970 at Hejiacun, Xi’an, Shaanxi province, which also bears a similar design of parrots and peonies, see World of the Heavenly Khan: Treasures of the Tang Dynasty, National Palace Museum, Taipei, 2002, p. 50.
