東漢黃玉出廓天帝紋鏤空玉璧, 長46.5公分;圓直徑39.5公分;厚0.8公分; 東漢前期在經濟、文化、科學技術等方面都遠超過了西漢時期的水平。東漢時期玉器紋飾, 尤其是人物及虛幻神獸造型, 除了採用中國的神仙思想外, 也可能融合西方的元素。本器黃玉雕琢, 雙面對稱雕琢, 形制為出廓玉璧,出廓體飾鏤空龍鳳紋,玉璧外緣表面上方飾天帝紋淺浮雕, 雙腿半蹲, 雙手插腰, 頭上戴冠, 衣裳飾網格紋, 左右及下方飾變體抽象螭龍紋淺浮雕, 內緣紋飾為鏤空龍鳳紋, 玉璧中央為如意雲紋淺浮雕, 外側與中央之間飾三個人首紋。本器紋飾採變體抽象方式呈現, 既神秘又優美,  線條細膩婉轉, 佈置疏密有緻, 堪稱稀世珍品 . 本器增生晶體古玉跡象明顯, 其他古玉跡象有鈣化, 擴散暈沁色, 冰裂紋及差異風化等。(台灣頤和園博物館藏品, 陳明杰鑑賞並撰文)
