Description
English: Jade Disk. Canadian Museum of Civilization 2007 "Treasures of China" exhibition.
  • Liangzhu Culture
  • Neolithic Period (3300 - 2200 B.C.)
  • Excavated at Yuhang, Zhejiang Province
Symbolizing heaven, such disks were ritual objects - this particular disk is a symbol of weath, military power, and religious authority. Most such disks have been found in tombs belonging to high officials and aristocrats, and required much skill and patience to produce; this disk's rough shape suggests it was hastily produced for burial purposes.
