Ceremonial Disk with Grain Pattern (Bi)
A flat, round jade disk with a central circular hole, its pale green stone streaked with brown and russet mottling. Its surface is covered with evenly spaced raised dots arranged in a grain-like pattern, with a smooth band near the rim.
Look closer: Brown rust-like staining along the lower-left rim and a faint crack running across the disk.
