Standing with hands clasped and crossing in front of the waist, the jade figurine is made of light bluish white jade and dress in robs. The hair of the figurine is on the top of the head with its ears protruding. The face with the Yin line cut out eyebrows, eyes, garlic nose, mouth and beard. The shape of this jade figure is very similar to that unearthed from the tomb of the king of Zhongshan of Warring States period in Pingshan, Hebei province, except that no lines are carved to show the pattern of the clothes. Warring States period Objects excavated from Han tombs, are similar to those found in Sanlidun Han tombs in Lianshui, Jiangsu province. However, it is still rare to find the imperial seals and jade figurines of the middle West Han dynasty. These objects could have some special relationship with the owner of the tomb, Liu qi.
