The present disc shows an intricate combined design of bi and pendant. Similar discs are known with pierced auspicious messages incorporated as part of the design, thus it is likely that these discs functioned as talismans or played symbolic roles during special occasions. Compare to an earlier Western-Han jade disc of similar design with addorsed dragons (25.9 cm.) discovered from the tomb of Prince Liu Sheng in Hebei province, illustrated in Zhongguo yuqi quanji, vol. 4, 1993, pl. 88, p. 68; and a Easter-Han example surmounted by openwork interlocking chi dragons, illustrated ibid., pl. 242, p. 174.
