十二至十四世紀 花紋金筒簪一支Compare a gold nail-form hairpin with floral design and dated to the Southern Song dynasty, illustrated in Chinese Gold Ornaments (Hong Kong: Muwen Tang Fine Art Publication Ltd., 2003), p. 395, pl. 240. Simon Kwan and Sun Ji compare the illustrated gold hairpin to a similar example unearthed from the Zhu Family cemetery and dated to year 1197 in Jiangxi province. P. 394.In addition, Yang Zhishui described a related gold hairpin, excavated from a Yuan dynasty tomb in Hunan province, illustrated in Zhongguo Gudai Jinyin Shoushi (Beijing: Gugong, 2014), vol. 1, pp. 176-177, pl. 3.15.5.
