Set of six yellow jade ornaments, Western Zhou dynasty

Set of six pieces made in yellow jade with patina. The ornaments represent different animal forms, such as birds and rabbits, a couple of humanoid forms and a rectangular piece. The forms show details engraved on the surface with spirals and geometric shapes. They have holes to introduce a cord to anchor it to the clothing. The blue pigmentation that can be observed in the composition of the jade has been caused by being in contact with other objects, composed of metals, for a prolonged period of time.
