Collared Bi Disks
Late Shang Dynasty, 1100 B.C. - The Western Zhou Dynasty, 771 B.C.
Jinsha Site Museum
Chengdu, China
On both sides of the disk are carved seven groups of concentric fine circles. The lines in intaglio are delicate, the patterns on both sides are symmetric, and the disk is well-polished- it looks just like a microgroove record of today. This disk is a representative of Jinsha jade ware with superb workmanship.
