Ring ornaments are one of the principal categories of Han dynasty
jades, typically carved with a denser design of dragons and phoenix
or geometric pattern. Compare a ‘dragon’ ring ornament, Western
Han dynasty, excavated from the Han tomb site at Sanjiaowei, Anhui
Province, also simply decorated in relief with the head of the dragon
above the ring, illustrated by Gufang, The Pictorial Handbook of
Ancient Chinese Jades, Beijing, 2007, p.235.
