Dr. Johan Carl Kempe (1884-1967) Collection, Sweden, before 1953, no. CK85. Sotheby's London, Masterpieces of Chinese Precious Metalwork. Early Gold and Silver, 14 May 2008, lot 33.
The same kind of sculptural depiction of an animal can be seen on an equally small gold garment hook from a Western Han tomb, illustrated by Jay Xu ed., Tomb Treasures: New Discoveries from China's Han Dynasty, Asian Art Museum, San Francisco, 2017, p. 152, no. 66, which depicts a rabbit rather than the more fantastic animal seen on the present garment hook.
