<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hunter-Phillips, post: 87950, member: 1229&quot;]Hey! Yes, you are right about the disk being a modern &quot;decorative piece&quot;.&nbsp; It is loosely modeled on the Chinese &quot;bi&quot;.&nbsp; Bi&#039;s were first produced/used as far back as the neolithic period, but were still made by artisans as part of a general fascination with archaic jade pieces that continued through the Qing dynasty (the last dynasty in China) till the early 20th century. Bi&#039;s always had a hole in the center, but many had somewhat similar decoration as you find on the front of this disk. The back of your disk has some&nbsp; characters that looks like Chinese &quot;seal script&quot; (one of the types of calligraphy they use, and the oldest dating back to B.C. times)...or it could be made up shapes, I&#039;m not positive.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
