This unusual na from a ge would be of provincial manufacture, probably from Southeast China, lower Yangtze Valley. A very similar openwork na of the same shape can be seen on a halberd ge, dated late Shang/early Western Zhou, 11th century BC, illustrated by C. Deydier, Chinese Bronzes, Paris, 1980, p. 87, pl. 61.
