Han Dynasty Symbol (1200-0862)
by Currey
The Han Dynasty Jade Symbol, which is made of a bronze-colored stoneware, emulates a famed jade carving and sits atop a metal stand in a black finish. The profile is called a "Bi" because the hole in the center represents the sky and the heavens beyond it. The name of this rich brown sculpture reflects that it is made in a Han Dynasty style, and it is carved on the front and the back.
