This earthenware disk is made of German clay and is connected to the tradition of "Bi-Discs" as they were carved out of Jade over 5000 years ago. It was first fired inside of an atmosphere simulating a wood pit firing and then glazed multiple times and treated with pollution based ink. Green dots come from copper exposure during one of the firings. Diameter of about 19cm, weight is about 300g, stamped with signature mark 2024 on verso.
