The first a thinly-sectioned plaque reticulated as a chime between a pair of curling chilong and above an auspicious bat, the stone streaked in shades of gray and brown; the second an over-sized scabbard slide or zhi, displaying raised boss and scroll patterns to the exterior and unusually carved with a cicada-shaped raised nodule to the underside, the stone of grayish white color mottled in icy inclusions. 6 1/2 and 4 1/2in (16.5 and 11.5cm) wide
