Warring States Period Jade Bi with Dragon Design
Material: Jade
Size: 6x4x2.5cm
This jade bi from the Warring States period is meticulously carved from fine, compact, and lustrous Hetian jade. The jade exhibits a deep brown tone with a hint of gray and natural traces of weathering, giving it a tranquil sheen that reveals the passage of time. When illuminated, the stone reveals a gentle bluish-green translucence, enhancing its soft, refined texture.
The sculpture depicts a chilong (mythical hornless dragon) crouching upon the surface of the bi. The dragon lifts its head slightly, with a short broad snout and a gracefully curving neck. Its body coils powerfully, conveying vigor and vitality. The dragon’s ears lie flat against the head—a typical feature of the Warring States style—which later evolved into upright ears during the Han dynasty. The contours of its musculature are clearly defined, and the carving lines are firm and fluid, expressing an ancient sense of strength and resilience.
The reverse side of the bi is slightly convex, carved with mountain and cloud-valley motifs, symbolizing auspicious clouds and the protection of mountain spirits. The overall composition is concise yet rich in layers, harmoniously blending power with serenity.
This piece not only embodies the Warring States period’s reverence for the dragon as a symbol of divine strength and auspicious power but also reflects the era’s refined craftsmanship in shallow relief carving and its sophisticated aesthetic ideals. With its lively form and balanced design, it stands as an exceptional representative work of Warring States jade artistry.
This Warring States jade bi has been compassionately blessed by Grandmaster Jin Bodhi, endowing it with protective energy to bring peace, good fortune, and harmony to its keeper—dispelling obstacles, enhancing authority, opening wisdom, and attracting prosperity, abundance, and auspicious success.
