Chinese Jade Bi in wood frame
White Jade
China
H: 30 cm
This delicately carved jade bi comes in a wooden frame.The wooden frame is decorated with a thin inlay, creating a fine ornamental pattern. The bi-disc sits in the wooden frame and is supported by a thin string at the top. The round disc is carved in grain design, a pattern of raised curls. It is extended with an elaborate carving in openwork on the top. On this extension, we see two dragon-like mythical creatures with open mouths.
The bi-disc had ritual or symbolic purposes and was used as a status symbol. It goes back to the neolithic period where bi-discs have been found laid on the bodies in tombs. However, there is no written record about the bi's original meaning or use.
