或新石器時代 紅山文化早期 玉豬龍
Compare with a similar jade dragon, Neolithic
period, excavated at Zuojiacun, Nong’an County,
Jilin Province, , circa 7000 BC, in the National
Museum of China (acc.no.t20181218_24434).
參看吉林省農安縣左家村遺址曾出土一件玉豬龍,
其帶有典型紅山文化玉豬龍特點,但造型及雕刻上
更為原始(博物館編號t20181218_24434)。考
古學家從底層上推測,其年代可能早於遼寧紅山
文化。
