The present jade carving probably depicts a kalavinka, a
winged deity said to represent the voice of the Buddha with its
melodious sound, and be associated with Garuda and Kinnara
in Buddhist art. See a Liao dynasty glass figure of a kalavinka in
the collection of the Tianjin Museum, published in Jade Wares
Collected by Tianjin Museum, Beijing, 2012, pl. 153. Figures of
kalavinka are frequently found on Liao gold and silverwares,
such several pieces from the treasure of Prince Wenzhong,
which is datable between AD 1024 and 1027, illustrated in Han
Wei and Christian Deydier, Ancient Chinese Gold, Paris, 2001,
