the cultural significance of the material used in the jade cong is most similar to that of the

• beaker with ibex motifs
• camelid sacrum in the shape of a canine
• caves at altamira
• terracotta fragment of lapita

Explanation:

The Jade cong uses jade, a material with cultural and symbolic significance in Liangzhu culture. The Terracotta fragment of Lapita also uses a material (terracotta) with cultural significance in Lapita culture, related to their artistic and cultural expressions. The Beaker with ibex motifs uses clay (more functional/ceramic art), Camelid sacrum is bone (symbolic but different material significance), and Caves at Altamira are rock art (different material use). So the Terracotta fragment of Lapita has a material with cultural significance similar to jade in the Jade cong.

Answer:

Terracotta fragment of Lapita
