A number of jade belt hooks from the Warring States period are carved
with similar animal mask motifs like the present ornament. Compare
for example to the National Palace Museum example (acquisition
no. guyu 4133/lv-1847-17-31), illustrated in Art in Quest of Heaven
and Truth- Chinese Jades through the Ages, Taipei, 2012, pl. 5-5-25.
Another Warring States belt hook carved with a more abstract mask
was excavated in Qufu, Shandong, illustrated in Zhongguo yuqi quanji
-3- Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, Shijiazhuang, 1993,
pl. 206. Compare also to a jade animal mask pendant, dating to the
Warring States period, in the Tianjin Art Museum Collection, ibid., pl.
303.
