介绍（中）	这十三块玻璃带牌匾是一套牌匾的一部分，完整后将由20多块组成。它们的形状是以明代（1368-1644）官员佩戴的、缝合在皮带上的玉牌为基础的。斑块的排列遵循既定的模式，最大的斑块通常放置在带的中心和两端。这种牌匾的使用早在七世纪的唐朝初就有了，当时皇帝向贵族和政府高级官员赠送玉饰腰带，作为他们官方服装的一部分在明代，玉带匾额在经历了前朝的衰落后得以复兴：历史文献记载，明代皇帝在御所制作了数千套玉牌，用于授予官员。然而，像这样的玻璃片并不是玉石的廉价替代品。它们因其自身的美学吸引力以及异国情调的材料而受到重视。
介绍（英）	These thirteen glass belt plaques are part of a single set, which, when complete, would have consisted of more than twenty pieces. Their shapes were based on those of the jade plaques that were stitched on leather belts and worn by Ming dynasty (1368–1644) officials. The arrangement of the plaques followed an established pattern, with the largest pieces typically placed at the center and at either end of the belt. The use of such plaques had its origin as early as the beginning of the Tang dynasty, in the seventh century, when the emperor presented jade-decorated belts to the nobility and senior members of the government as part of their official costume. During the Ming, jade belt plaques were revived after a decline in the previous dynasties: historical documents record that Ming emperors had thousands of sets of jade plaques made in the imperial workshops to grant to officials. Glass pieces such as these were not inexpensive substitutes for their jade counterparts, however. They were valued for their own aesthetic appeal as well as for their exotic material.
