Jade ornament, Eastern Zhou period, 5th century BC. These four discs of jade were for the decoration of a belt or pendant. The fact that they are linked without any joins represents an extraordinary piece of craftsmanship, since jade is such a difficult material to work. Its hardness is one of the many qualities which made jade so highly prized in ancient China.This ornament clearly belonged to someone of high social status. OA, 1937.4-16.250.
