He died over forty years ago and this is one of his collection of several thousand itemsThe Chinese have used a variety of Jade/Stone types for over 7000 years, producing weapons, work implements, buckles, dress adornments, funeral burial pieces for use in the after life, necklaces, pendants, bangles, statues,  good luck charms, offerings to the gods, an...d pieces of ornamental beauty. Jade in it's many forms was highly valued in Chinese society.Here we have a beautiful pale browny green waxy Jade/Stone ‘Bi’ Disc showing four sections of ‘cloud’ carvings around the central hole (sky) to the main body (world) of the Disc. The Bi is max approx x 60mm diameter x 6mm thick and it weighs approx 75 grams. It has great originality and character. This is a beautiful item. I am asking very little for it.
