Comments:Rawson 1995:Plaques surrounded by beading seem to be characteristic of the Jin and especially the Yuan period. They bring into the repertoire of jade carving details that are suggestive of metalwork techniques. Several of the jade types decorated with beading can be matched in metalwork belt ornaments both from China and from other, most western parts of Asia.
