A CARVED WHITE JADE BI DISK AND GUI PLAQUE <br/>SONG DYNASTY
Dott ed with yellow brown spots, this white jade plaque is made up of a jade ring (Bi) atop a pointed jade tablet (Gui). With the upper and lower parts of the jade ring clearly seen on one side, the shape of the jade tablet is fully revealed on the other side. Fully carved with grain patterns, the jade ring has a “Hao” hole carved in low relief. A jade tablet and a jade ring were used as jade sacrifices in the ancient times with their respective functions. As an innovative production of an ancient style, this graceful and delicate jade plaque is the fine combination of these two sacrifices.
