This is an exceptionally well carved example of a type of headdress ornament that was made in a variety of sizes; this one is among the largest. Many Chinese of this period wore their hair on top of their head and crowned the arrangement with a jade ornament of this type. However during the last imperial dynasty of China, the Qing dynasty (1644-1911) men wore their hair in a plait and such head ornaments were no longer used. Many of them were subsequently converted into knobs for lids of bronze vessels.This is an exceptionally well carved example of a type of headdress ornament that was made in a variety of sizes; this one is among the largest.

A powerful coiled Bird dragon emerges from the top of the complex openwork carving, supported on a curved plain underside, which is pierced by holes. The body of the creature is embellished with deeply incised lines; a pearl is clasped in its claws.
