               PROVENANCE
               Yangdetang Collection, acquired in Taipei in 1992
               Compare with a bi of similar shape dicovered at Mt Wenggeng, Tailai County, Helongjiang
               Province, now in the Tailai County Museum and illustrated in Heilongjiang gudai yuqi, Beiing,
               2008, p. 40 (fig. 1), which is slightly smaller in size (8.93 cm. long) and of green tone with
               extensive russet inclusions. The quality of the current bi is exceptional with its even white tone and
               unctuous texture.
                                                                                               fig. 1
