Subject:Bi-Disc Second Attempt at loading pictures
Posted By: eric Tue, Jan 13, 2015 IP: 50.162.128.112
I've had this disc in my family for many years and it has been recently passed on to me. I am curious to learn more about its history and value.
What I've found on the internet is somewhat confusion and at times conflicting.
The disc is just over 6 cm in diameter with a 1.2 center hole and about that in height. It, as you see has two dragons adorning the top surface. I think they're called chilong? (baby)
On the back is a pattern of raised dots in the shape of a hexagon.
The disc is rather heavy considering its size but I have no scale for get a precise weight.
I have wiped the surface using only a soft toothbrush and cloth to polish it and never have used any type of liquid on it yet the disc always appears as if there is a sort of residue or oil on it although it does not feel this way. Just smooth as glass.
It remains cool to the touch for an extended period when holding it and from what I've read about jade(ite) that can be a good sign of authenticity, but not knowing my posterior from my bendable joints, I will not make any assumptions.
Any assistance with identifying this piece would be very appreciated.
