'Bi' discs were circular jade objects with a central hole, historically used in ritual ceremonies and burials, symbolizing the heavens and eternity. The intricate patterns, often featuring dragons amidst clouds, are emblematic of Ming artistic themes emphasizing imperial power and cosmic harmony. Jade was revered for its purity and durability, and such objects were prized for their material and craftsmanship. This piece encapsulates the height of Chinese stone carving artistry and the deep spiritual connotations jade held in ancient China.
