The present pendant is a rare example of the finest jade carvings from
this period. The double-s-shaped body of the dragon shows an unusually
strong modulation and a high degree of curvature, imbuing the mythical
animal with a sense of movemnet and vivacity. The finely incised
pattern on the body of the dragon comprising ruyi-scrolls, comma
spirals, triangles, and other shapes filled with criss-cross design, further
distinguishing the present pendant from other contemporary examples.
龍體作雙S相連形，粗細變化明顯，扭轉彎度相當大，藝術性極高。龍
腹上鑽一圓孔，用以繫掛。龍體上以細陰線雕刻如意首雲紋、圓弧紋、
斜三角紋，並局部加飾網格紋，腮邊與背上凸出的捲勾處，雕毛束紋，
雕工極為精細。紋飾風格較接近於洛陽金村玉器。
