One is in two parts, each half inlaid with a pale greyish-green jade plaque of a recumbent mythical beast. One half has a dragon-head hook, the other a loop, and each has two strap-like loops that span the back. The other, of ruyi-shape, is inlaid with an opaque white jade plaque of a boy seated on the back of a large goose. The back is in two sections, each with a strap-like loop, one section sliding behind the other which is cast in openwork.
