von Oertzen男爵伉儷舊藏, 南非, 約翰內斯堡, 於1969年前購入 倫敦佳士得, 2008年11月4日, 拍品127號
The shape and polish of this ornament is closely related to an excavated example, now in the Palace Museum, Beijing, excavated from the 4th-3rd century B.C. tombs at Jincun, near present day Luoyang, which are thought to have been the buriel tombs of the Zhou Royal family. The present xi may also be stylistically compared with the dragon and phoenix-shaped ornament from the Warring States period, sold at Christie's Hong Kong, Adorning the Kings, a Private Collection of Archaic Jade Ornaments, 31 May 2017, lot 2726.
