This imposing bi 璧disc has a fine-textured surface and exquisite mirror-like polish. Although the thickness and surfaces are irregular, a common characteristic of This imposing bi 璧disc has a fine-textured surface and exquisite mirror-like polish. Although the thickness and surfaces are irregular, a common characteristic of Liangzhu culture discs of this size, it is extremely smooth to the touch. One side is rather regular but the other presents undulations and a marked sloping near the border, where the jade sensibly decreases in thickness. The hole has been drilled from both sides, which is evident by the unpolished ridge left in the middle of the perforation.

The nephrite jade, typical of Liangzhu culture jades, is a beautiful combination of variegated colors that range from light green, auburn, ochre and darker reddish areas to black, with many striations of swirling white.
