Vintage 11 Inch Diameter Chinese Ochre Jade Bi Disk With Dragon Motif X-LARGE :
$129.00

For sale here is a very beautiful jade bi (disk). Brownish ochre color with a central dragon. Color variation is possible because of different camera & lightconditions.

A bi is a flat jade disc with a circular hole in the center. Neolithic bi are undecorated, while those of later periods of China, like the Zhou dynasty, bear increasingly ornate surface carving (particularly in a hexagonal pattern) whose motifs represented deities associated with the sky (four directions) as well as standing for qualities and powers the wearer wanted to invoke or embody. As laboriously crafted objects, they testify to the concentration of power and resources in the hands of a small elite.

Size- About11 inches diameter. 1/4\" thick.

Condition-very nice please look at the condition report and the includedpictures.
