Jade ornaments

This servant has been buried with a number of jade ornaments. The ornaments are quite small as larger jade ornaments would have been too expensive. They are quite roughly carved animals; one is a tiger and the other is a silkworm.

This is a similar jade carving to the one in the servant's coffin. It is a very detailed carving of a silkworm.

This is a similar carving to the jade tiger in the tomb. This carving comes from the Shang dynasty.
