Lifetime GuaranteeEmail to a friend
This is a beautiful and an authentic Chinese ancient jade bi disc with a wonderful “cloud pattern”, coming from the Qi Jia Culture, Northwestern China, 3,000-2,000 BCE.
This comes from our private collection.
Dimensions: the bi disc is 6.8 inches diameter and with stand it is 9.5 inches high
This example is rare because of its very fine color and calcification from being buried underground for thousands of years forming the”cloud” pattern and because the original string cutting line on the jade is visible on its reverse side (see photo). Natural organic string made from vegetation combined with sand paste and water were the tools used to abraid and cut hard jade stone.
A rare one.
Neolithic jades from this period are handmade and hand abraided and hand polished using Primitive tools of the time: bamboo, stone, water and stone dust
Provenance:
Our private collection and accompanied by our Schneible Fine Arts LLC Lifetime Guarantee of Authenticity.
In addition, our jade bi have been authenticated by Mr. Gu Fang, Senior Fellow at the Center of Jadeology and Jade Culture in Beijing, (see photo of Mr. Gu Fang with Mr. Schneible)
