See a set of twelve closely related jade ‘shell’ beads dated to the mid-Western Han dynasty in the Changsha Museum, Hunan province, each bead with holes on the two ends so that can be connected as a chain, published in Yang Boda ed., Zhongguo yuqi quanji [Complete collection of Chinese jades], Shijiazhuang, 2005, vol. 4, pl. 145. Compare further a pair of similar Western Han-dynasty beads in the Chaohu Museum, Anhui province, illustrated in Gu Fang, The Complete Collection of Jades Unearthed in China, Beijing, 2005, vol. 6, p. 109.


青玉質,圓雕貝形,栩栩如生,兩端有穿。 

湖南省長沙市博物館藏一組十二件西漢中期玉貝,形制與本對如出一轍,兩端穿孔可連為一串,見楊伯達編,《中國玉器全集》,石家莊,2005年,卷4,圖版145。安徽省巢湖市博物館藏一對西漢玉貝與本件頗似,見古方,《中國出土玉器全集》,北京,2005年,卷6,頁109。
