Published: Myrna Myers (ed.) & Filippo Salviati (auth.), The Language of Adornment. Chinese Ornaments of Jade, Crystal, Amber and Glass, Paris, 2002, no. 113.Expert's note: The belt set illustrated in this lot is the synthesis of two cultural traditions, the nomadic and the Chinese. As a dress accessory, the belt reflects the nomadic heritage of the Liao, while the choice of rock crystal is distinctively Chinese.China, 10th-11th century. Each rock crystal plaque, rectangular in form, mounted within gilt silver fittings, originally attached to a leather and fabric belt, and carved in high relief with incised gilt accents. The ensemble comprises two groups of plaques, each decorated with identical figures oriented in opposing directions. The two terminal plaques depicting a seated man with a swollen face, resting one arm on a cushion placed upon a low table while rising a cup, evoking a banquet scene. The remaining plaques featuring various attendants carrying trays with offerings, cross-legged musicians playing the 'sheng' (mouth organ), and a young man holding a flask. All figures attired in the characteristic loose-fitting tunics, long trousers, and headwear typical of Central Asian dress from the period.

Extensive rubbing to gilding and some remnants of old fibers.Weight: 303.3 g (total)Dimensions: Length 3.3 to 5.4 cmLeather belts adorned with plaques became a standard dress accessory among the nomadic and semi-nomadic peoples living north of the Chinese heartland as early as the 8th century BC, as evidenced by archaeological finds in Liaoning and Inner Mongolia. While serving a practical purpose, these decorated belts also functioned as symbols of social status. They gained popularity in China during the Tang dynasty (618-907), particularly due to the abundant jade resources in Khotan, located in the Tarim Basin. During this period, belts were crafted from gold, jade and rock crystal, or gilt bronze and embellished with a variety of motifs. The emperor bestowed jade-adorned belts upon nobility and high-ranking government officials as integral components of their official attire.The servants and musicians depicted on these plaques may be considered as attendants of the Queen Mother of the West, thereby alluding to the Paradise of the Immortals, as observed by Jessica Rawson, and they were believed to confer auspicious and protective qualities upon the wearer of the belt.
