Bi discs are flat jade discs, with a central opening, and date from pre-historic times. It is believed that the circular form represents heaven, and may have been used in ceremonies honouring the heavens. They were also placed on top of bodies in graves. Early bi discs are undecorated, while disks from later periods have ornate surface carvings.
