Comments:Rawson 1992:Gold and silver jewellery was worn by the elite in the Tang and Song periods. The most popular forms were hairpins and combs, although a few rings and bangles have also been found. Intricate openwork of flowers and birds was sometimes embellished with fine beading known as granulation, a technique introduced from Western and Central Asia. Gold and silver fine filigree jewellery is also characteristic of all later periods See also BM 1938.0524.252 and 284, and BM 1936.1118.242.
