The dragon design on the current huang was a common design during the mid-Western Zhou Dynasty. Compare a similarly decorated jade huang, excavated from the Rui State tomb, illustrated in Selected Bronze, Jade and Gold Treasures from the Rui State of Early Spring and Autumn Period,Xian, 2007, no.16, pp.68-69.
