玉灰白色泛青綠點。器寬扁形。鷹作展翅飛翔狀,兩翅各雕一豬頭。腹部規整刻劃一圓圈,內刻八角星紋。八角星中央又刻一圓,圓內左上方又對鑽一圓孔。鷹兩面雕刻相同,表面拋光潤亮。有學者認為八角星內的小圓象徵太陽,同一件器物上集合太陽、鷹和豬等形象,三位一體,它可能是象徵部落結盟的信物。
The jade is off-white with greenish spots and is broad and flat in shape. The eagle has a pair of spreading wings as if it is soaring into the sky. Both of the wings are carved in the shape of a boar face. A neat circle is found on its belly with an eight-pointed star engraved within. Inside the star is a small circle representing the sun and a small round hole. Both sides of the eagle have been carved in the same manner and it has a polished shiny surface. The combination of a sun pattern with the eagle and boar images suggests that this jade piece was a token signifying the tribal alliances in ancient times. 資料:香港歷史博物館
