Towards the end of the Eastern Zhou period until the Han dynasty, the scale and quality of jade production reached an unprecedented level. Many historians and connoisseurs regard it as China's first high point in the art of jade carvings. Works from this period typically possess a combination of intricacy in detail and boldness of design, enabled by technological improvements with bronze implements and tools. Stylistically, designs and compositions often included long sinuous creatures in openwork with ornate surface decoration of linked scrolls. The present lot is an excellent example of this group.

Literature comparison:
Compare a related openwork ‘animals and birds’ plaque, dated to the 4th-3rd century BC, in the Fogg Art Museum, Harvard University, object number 1943.50.450.
