Celadon Stone Bi Disc

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. Thought to provide a conduit to the heavenly realm, bi discs are defined by their round, flattened shape and always carved of fine jade or dense hardstone. This contemporary bi disc is carved of a beautiful, opaque hardstone with turquoise-green color, reminiscent of Chinese celadon porcelain. Set on a custom metal stand, the bi disc anchors modern interiors as tabletop sculpture with graphic shape and rich color.
