商或更晚 綠松石豬龍形珮A near identical white and gray jade example sold at Sotheby's, New York, Important Chinese Works of Art: The Collection of Mr. and Mrs. Richard C. Bull, 6 December 1983, lot 149 and later illustrated by Jessica Rawson, Chinese Jade from the Neolithic to the Qing, 1995, London, British Museum, p. 210, no. 12:3, where the author notes the unusual use of a vertical bottle horn and the fine thread relief decoration that form meanders, scrolls and chevrons combined with incised lozenges (as with our example) that run the length of the spine. She continues "Thread relief such as that on this jade is a feature of only a few Shang period jades. It was, however, one of the major types of decoration on neolithic jades of the Longshan and Shijiahe cultures, and it is clear that Shijiahe jades with relief decoration were known to the Shang".
