拍品資料及來源

青黃玉,玉質瑩潤,龍首兩端鈣化呈雞骨白。雙面工有別,一面淺浮雕蟠虺紋,雕琢細膩,另一面陰線刻勾雲紋,紋飾流暢。兩端為龍首,中間以綯索紋將紋飾分區。相同風格的玉珩佩,見山西太原金勝村趙卿墓出土,錄於《太原晉國趙卿墓》,北京,1996年,頁142-145,陝西寶雞益門村二號墓出土,載於古方,《中國出土玉器全集》,卷14,北京,2005年,頁98,亦見台北故宮博物院所藏春秋晚期龍紋珩,《敬天格物·中國歷代玉器導讀》,國立故宮博物院,台北,2011年,頁83,圖5-5-12。龍背有上下兩個橫式穿孔,孔徑較大,破壞了紋飾,疑為後加工。

璜佩在西周的多璜組玉佩中,通常以兩端鑽孔,凹弧向上的方式佩戴;而發展到東周兩漢時期,則以中間穿孔、兩端朝下的方式佩戴,這樣的玉佩稱之為「珩」。
