About the Item

This magnificent antique hand-carved nephrite jade pi disk was most likely created in the late 19th century -between 1850-1900. It has been carved with small round bumps in raised relief -sometimes referred to as rice-grain and looks like disks from the Western Han dynasty -200 BC. Under the microscope, tiny tool marks are visible throughout the piece, which aids us in dating the piece. Contemporary "faux-antique" carved disks were created using modern tools and lack this layer of authenticity. This disk was not carved to "fool" somebody into believing they were acquiring an ancient artifact; ancient jade carvings have been celebrated throughout Chinese history by lapidary artists who pay homage to the ancient carvings by re-creating them. The pi disk form has been carved for centuries and is rich in meaning: it symbolizes -among other things- the cycle of life, eternity, and prosperity. The grayish-green (olive) and brown disk measures 54.42mm x 9.90mm. A hole for a cord was added to the pendant at a later date. The disk hangs from a black cord, which is adjustable from 24" to choker length. This rare and spectacular antique jade carving ships with a certificate from Stone Group Labs stating that the jade is untreated nephrite.
