Mottled Stone Bi Disc with Wall Mount

Jades have been cherished for thousands of years for their rich heritage, beauty, and rarity. Known as “bi,” these round discs date all the way back to the Neolithic era and are believed to be associated with Heaven. Found in the tombs of ancient Chinese emperors and aristocrats, bi discs have a mysterious and spiritual history, and their function and significance remain uncertain. Shaping this hard stone takes considerable skill. An artisan patiently rubs the surface with sand to give the stone its soft, satiny appearance, a subtle glow completely different from the polished gloss of machine-finished stones. Set on a custom steel wall mount, this contemporary mottled stone bi disc adds graphic impact and rich texture to modern interiors.
