In ancient China, jade was the preferred material for bead making, and artisans often utilized remnants from larger jade objects for resourceful usage of the prized stone. This approach is evident in Liangzhu culture beads, many of which bear the iconic mask motif. After the Neolithic period, beads fell out of favor for a time, but their use saw a resurgence during the Western Zhou dynasty.
