Modeled (not scanned) version of a jade Bi Disc, 1100-771 BCE, now in the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art. More information about the object here: https://collections.artsmia.org/art/1055/bi-disc-china Bi discs on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bi_(jade) Inspired by Tom Flynn's ( @nebulousflynn ) Neolithic Jade Earring ( https://skfb.ly/6PY8X ) , built from a single image made available by the National Palace Museum in Taiwan. This bi disc model is made from our front (recto) and reverse (verso) images; we've approximated the specularity and translucency from the real object.
