On a carved table by a lake, a belt of linked jade plaques lies beside a brocade runner, an S-shaped jade dragon pendant stands on a wooden base and two animal-headed jade belt hooks rest at the table's end, against pine boughs and a garden rock. Belt, pendant and hooks evoke the gentle refinement of jade worn on the body.
