Carved and highly polished circular disc with central aperture. The disk has mottled coloration with celadon and russet hues.
Chinese "Bi" discs are first known to have been created during the Neolithic period and have been traditionally revered for their use in ritual and funerary rites. These "bi" discs can represent heaven, and quite possibly the bi disc itself was meant to guide one's soul to the afterlife.
Condition
There appears to be a split from the outer trim to the inner trim in one spot on the disc but when run finger over the split does not feel present and may be an interior flaw.
Measurements
5 1/2" H [total on stand] x 3 3/4" DIA
