Los 20 | A SMOOTHLY POLISHED BI DISC WITH SHINY SURFACES CARVED FROM GREEN JADE WITH BROWN STRIPES
Schätzwert
€ 6 000
Jade. China, Late Neolithic, Longshan culture, C.2600-1900 BC
玉璧 - 新石器時代晚期, 龍山文化, 約公元前 2600-1900年

DIAMETER: 16.1 CM, HOLE: 6.1 CM, THICKNESS: 0.2-0.4 CM
外直徑 16.1 厘米,內直徑 6.1 厘米,厚 0.2-0.4 厘米

This interesting bi disc, that can be assigned to the late Neolithic period, Longshan culture, has a handsome colour combination. It was carved from a fine quality of bright green jade with some minor greyish marbling and brown markings on the smoothed edge, and it has a glossy finish, as seen on similar discs found in Longshan culture sites in Shaanxi province or, less frequently, at Taosi (c.2300-1900 BC) in Xiangfen county, Shanxi province. There is also a dense, whitish, but fine mottling that is more visible when focused light is shined through the piece. This almost completely flat disk is amazingly thin: its outer edge is only about 2 mm thick, and thus the jade remains perfectly translucent.
