This object would likely have been used as a decorative hanging ornament, possibly intended for display within a scholar's studio or as a symbolic piece in a domestic interior. The jade cylinder could be removed from the stand by untying the red cord, allowing for easy handling or repositioning. The attached tassel, along with the stand, forms part of the complete display, though each component can be separated for individual appreciation or maintenance.
