A very similar fish pendant carved from similar brownish-green jade is illustrated by Jenny F. So in Early Chinese Jades in the Harvard Art Museums, Cambridge, Massachusetts, 2019, p. 172, fig. 3. Also illustrated, p. 172, fig. 4, is a neck ornament worn by the Ba lord from Yicheng Dahekou, Shanxi, which features very similar fish pendants and illustrates how an existing arc-shaped fish pendant of this type could be “adapted for suspension by turning it upside down and drilling a second hole at the tail.”
