Carved from Hetian white jade, the object is bi with two parts: the jade bi and the outer part. The top center of the outer part is decorated with a ring symbolizing the sky, and the left and right are decorated with dragon head divine beasts. One side of the jade bi is decorated with low-relief nine dragons flying through the cloud. The other side of the jade bi is divided into two layers. The outer layer is decorated with four dragons flying through clouds and a phoenix. The carving is delicate and vivid. Different signs of ancient jade such as differential weathering, diffusion marking, dissolved pits, and calcification are obvious. This bi is exquisitely carved and has strong artistic and cultural connotations. It is a fine jade bi of the period.
