Appraisal Report
The image shows a large circular disc with a central hole, which is characteristic of a Bi disc from ancient China. These objects were often made of jade and held significant ritual and symbolic meaning. The color variations suggest the material could be jade or another type of stone that has oxidized over time. Without closer examination of the material and craftsmanship, and knowledge of its provenance, providing a precise valuation is difficult. However, authentic ancient Chinese Bi discs can range significantly in value depending on age, material quality, craftsmanship, condition, and historical significance. Given the visual information, a broad range based on the assumption it is a legitimate ancient piece is necessary.
