Compare the similar jade cong with narrow collars illustrated by
Rawson, Chinese Jade from the Neolithic to the Qing, London, 1995,
p.154, no.7:3, described as possibly Neolithic or Shang period, noted
by the author: 'The fact that such cong are so much smaller than
their Neolithic predecessors and less numerous than other jade types
suggests they had declined in importance.'
