Ornamental plaques of this type would have served as personal ornaments for the people of the Dongbei (Northeast China) ca. 600 BC. In most instances they would have been made of bronze, such as the set of twenty in the collection of Shelby White and Leon Levy illustrated by Jenny F. So and Emma C. Bunker in Traders and Raiders on China's Northern Frontier, Arthur M. Sackler Gallery, Washington D.C., 1995, p. 160, no. 83, and again by Emma C. Bunker, Nomadic Art of the Eastern Eurasian Steppes, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, 2002, p. 158, no. 135. It is far more rare to find ornaments of this type made of gold, which would have indicated the elevated status of the wearer.
