Comments:Rawson (1995):Fish curved in an arc are one of the most common types of jade. Those of the Shang period are, on average, shorter than those of the Western Zhou period.Many of the fish from Fu Hao’s tomb are quite short, but those carved from an existing ring tend to be somewhat larger. See also BM 1937.0416.82, BM 1935.0115.6 and BM 1937.0416.77.
