- Description
-
Disk with open center, projecting inner rim; opaque tan with some semitranslucent areas. (Calcified almost entirely; minor deposits.)
(Jenny F. So, Jade Project Database, entered March 25, 2009) Opaque warm/golden ivory white with incrustations of cinnabar. Unlike other collared disks in collection, edges of collar are rounded off and smooth (later re-finishing?), so that they appear unusually low.
