Subject:chinese jade chilong bi-disk
Posted By: Alex Wed, Sep 06, 2023 IP: 2a02:a462:5d7d:1:ec2 I would like to know how old this piece is because it is very hard to date.

Posted By: Steve Gridley Thu, Sep 07, 2023 In my opinion this looks like a 20th Century antigorite serpentinite carving. Not as fine carving as I've seen in early Chinese work and the reverse seems to have "saw" lines crisscrossing the valleys of the raised areas. I included a photo of an early Qing white jade belthook I sold several years ago for carving comparison.
