What does this mean?

Hello Klaudia,

This item is a mid-19th century Carved Chinese Jade Bi Disk, accompanied by a stand. The Bi Disk is a symbol of heaven in ancient Chinese culture and is often associated with power and authority. It’s a flat, circular jade object with a circular hole in the center, representing the harmony between heaven and earth.

The jade disk is intricately carved with delicate designs, showcasing the artisan’s skill and the importance of jade in Chinese culture. Jade was highly valued in ancient China, not only for its beauty but also for its perceived mystical properties and its association with good health, prosperity, and protection.
