Dark green jade with mottled area of altered stone, decorated with incised interlinking spirals. The dragons are more or less completely abstract, each composed of a powerful arched body, scrolling fins and claws issuing from the body and the tail. These two pendants are almost identical and seem to have been cut with the same template. The central arch of both bodies are peirced for suspension. The greener dragon (A) is missing the upper end of its tail.
