Description
Bi Disc, Warring States Period, 475-221 BCE Jade
8.25" x 8.25"
Mounted on steel base.
Each have been examined by one or more relevant
experts in the field and all have been issued a certificate of authenticity by
Gu Fang, Senior Fellow of the Institute of Archeology Chinese Academy
of Social Sciences. Gu Fang received a B.A degree from the Department of
Archaeology of Peking University in 1986 and in 1989 obtained a M.A.
degree in the Department of Archaeology at the Chinese Academy of
Social Sciences.
Bi discs were polished and carefully smoothed to produce the very simple, recognizable shape of a large, thick ring. Historians are still not certain what the function of Bi discs was during the Neolithic period. They are found in tombs, surrounding the corpse, while the finest Bi is usually laid upon the chest of the deceased. -
