Product description
Found in the tombs of ancient Chinese emperors and aristocrats, bi discs such as this have a mysterious and spiritual history, and their function and significance remain uncertain. Shaping this hard stone takes considerable skill. An artisan patiently rubs the surface with sand to give the stone its soft, satiny appearance, a subtle glow completely different from the polished gloss of machine-finished stones. This disc was finely carved with abstract dragons and clouds, symbols of heavenly power. It is mounted on a custom steel stand. Additional dimensions:
