This type of jade huang is typical of the Warring States period and Western Zhou dynasty. Compare with two jade huang of similar form decorated with a 'grain' pattern, Western Zhou dynasty, illustrated in The Essence of Ancient Jade. The Collection of the Exhibition in the Jade Hall of Nanjing Museum, 2000, nos.93 and 94.

黃玉質，質地略帶棕沁，稍有鈣化，邊起棱線，正反面浮雕雲榖紋，兩端凸起齒狀物，為簡化龍首，璜正中有一小穿。

此類玉璜戰國延綿至西漢，可參考南京博物院藏兩件西漢榖紋玉璜，見《南京博物院玉器館展品選萃》，南京，2000年，編號93及94。
