圓雕玉馬四肢直立，馬足略短，目前視，頸項粗壯，胸肌略鼓，臀腹緊圓。軀體肌理以雙勾陰線雲紋表現，刻紋駁環多變，為玉雕中的佳作。1992年以來，山西曲沃晉侯墓地已先後發掘清理了9組19座晉侯及其夫人墓，年代由西周早期至春秋初年。63號墓葬晉侯次夫人墓，出土隨葬品達4280件，僅玉器就有800餘件，製作精美。
This free-standing figure of a horse is considered an excellent example of jade sculpture. Facing forward, the horse has short legs, a thick neck and a muscular physique, with a bulging chest and a round belly and rump. The musculature of the horse's body is articulated with winding and varied cloud patterns, which have been outlined and then indented. Since 1992, nine groups of 19 tombs belonging to the marquises and marchionesses of Jin state have been excavated among the Jin tombs in Quwo, Shanxi province, all dating from between the early Western Zhou dynasty and the early years of the Spring and Autumn Period. Tomb No.63 is the resting place of the secondary consort of the Marquis of Jin. A total of 4,280 burial objects have been unearthed from this tomb, of which more than 800 are exquisitely made jade objects. ■資料：香港歷史博物館
