Bi, Late Neolithic Period, Liangzhu Culture, 3200-2300 BCE
Nephrite Jade.
Bi discs were polished and carefully smoothed to produce the very simple, recognizable shape of a large, thick ring. Historians are still not certain what the function of Bi discs was during the Neolithic period. They are found in tombs, surrounding the corpse, while the finest Bi is usually laid upon the chest of the deceased.
