Comments:Rawson 1995:These arcs would have hung with their two ends downwards in a type of arrangement shown in lacquered figures and on jade beads in the shape of figures from the tomb of the King of Nan Yue. These ‘huangs’ can therefore be compared with those from tombs of the fourth to the third centuries BC. Similar pieces are in the Falk Collection and in Sir Joseph Hotung’s collection, on display at the Jade Gallery of the British Museum.
