Another crouching animal is illustrated by Watt, Chinese Jades from the Collection of the Seattle Art Museum, Catalogue, no. 55. The Seattle figure is carved from a stone that is similar in colour, "a translucent greyish white nephrite", and similarly narrow in relation to its length. The deep carving and rounded curves of the beasts' limbs, the crouched posture and arched back with knobbly spine are also clearly related. The underside of the Seattle example reveals the particular care taken to depict the claws, paws and pads this same meticulous care has been taken with the Godfrey jade. Even the long whiskers by the mouth and the small hairs incised around the body are related. The similarities between the two extend tothe long whiskers, smallincised hairs on the body and similar fine smooth polish.

Another jade animal similar in form and style to the present lot in the Rietberg Museum is illustrated in Chinesische Jade, no.142.
