拍品資料及來源

契丹文化並無用玉之傳統,但立遼以後,漸多以玉代金銀器為佩飾,金人滅遼後,更尚漢文化,續製玉以為飾。如此玉鏤空綬帶紋珮,應乃居組佩之頂,下繫玉珮成套。相類之鏤雕綬帶紋玉飾,出土有例,下以鎏金銀鏈繫玉墜,見《遼陳國公主墓》,北京,1993年,頁82-84及彩圖版20:1、21。

另外一件丁字形玉節約,則為用於繮繩、尾鞦及鞍帶之馬具,配以鉚釘,可繫固縱橫相交之革帶。與此相類之節約,見同書頁106-108及彩圖版31:1,又刊於《松漠風華:契丹藝術與文化》,香港中文大學文物館,香港,2004年,圖VI:8-1。此類節約,其形制可上溯突厥金屬器,南西伯利亞出土突厥節約線描圖可參見孫機,〈論近年內蒙古出土突厥與突厥式金銀器〉,《文物》,1993年第8期,頁48-58。專場中另有一相類之玉節約(拍品編號233),可資比較。
