For a close example, see SUN, JI, and GUAN, Shanming. Chinese Gold Ornaments. Hongkong: Mu wen tang, 2003, p 394-395.

空心厚胎,簪首扁平外侈如釘頭,頂面錾菊花两朵,其下繁花密蕾,玲瓏浮凸,再下一圈回字紋,承以光素簪足。此類釘形簪在南宋習見,“花筒”之名,出于故宫本《碎金·服饰篇》“首饰·南“條目。元代乔吉有《花筒兒》小令:”玲珑高插楚云岑,轻巧全胜碧玉簪,红绵水暖春香沁,是惜花人一寸心。净瓶儿般手捻著沉吟。滴点点蔷薇露,袅丝丝杨柳金,是个画出来的观音。”为花筒簪写意。

參見江西川温泉南宋元三年(1197年)朱氏墓中出土的金簪;湖南省博物館藏1996年臨澧縣柏枝鄉出土的宋末元初音畫筒簪;桃源县文物管理所藏,1994年桃源县三阳港镇株木桥村万家嘴宋砖室墓出土花筒金簪;香港沐文堂所藏花蕾紋金簪;湖北省蘄春縣博物館所藏蘄春縣漕河鎮羅州城遺址窖藏出土“王七郎舖記”金花簪;浙江省東陽市博物館藏東陽白雲街道楊大塢村金交椅山宋墓的銀鎏金花筒簪等。

類似裝飾也見於金釵,出土較多,參見揚之水《奢華之色:宋元明清金銀器研究卷一》,2010年中華書局,24-29頁;香港承訓堂藏有五件,收錄于林業強主編《寶蘊迎祥:承訓堂藏金I》,2007年香港中文大學中國文化研究所文物館出版,第192頁D07。
