Red Canyon Bi Disc

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. Thought to provide a conduit to the heavenly realm, bi discs are defined by their round, flattened shape and always carved of fine jade or dense hardstone.

Polished with smooth edges and a glossy sheen, this contemporary bi disc is carved of a solid piece of pale jadeite, selected for its beautiful translucency and striking veining. A red-orange mineral inclusion accents one side of the disc, suggestive of early morning on a desert canyon or sand dune, the hot sun rising overhead. Set on a custom metal stand, the bi disc layers into modern interiors as tabletop sculpture with graphic shape and natural beauty.
