WARRING STATES PERIOD (475-221 BC)

It is rare to find jade belt hooks in the form of a shield like the current lot. Compare to a similar Warring States period belt hook in the Palace Museum collection, illustrated in The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum Jadeware, Hong Kong, 1995, pl.168 (fig. 1). See also a yellow jade belt hook of similar form, sold at Christie’s London, 3 November 2020, lot 8.
