遼 花紋金鉗鐲一支A slightly more elaborate pair of this general shape from the Liao dynasty was published in Emma Bunker et al Adornment for the Body and Soul: Ancient Chinese Ornaments from the Mengdiexuan Collection (Hong Kong: The University Museum and Art Gallery, 1999), p236.Compare also, a Liao bracelet similar to the present example illustrated in Chinese Gold Ornaments by Simon Kwan and Sun Ji (Hong Kong: Muwen Tang Fine Art Publication Ltd., 2003), pp. 382-383, pl. 231. Kwan and Sun suggest that the Liao continued stylistic developments dating to the Tang dynasty.
