EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable pendant in the form of a bird, reworked during the Anyang period (c. 1300-c. 1050 BCE) in ancient China. Crafted from exquisite jade, this delicate piece measures 2.7x3.8x1 cm and is currently housed at the Freer Gallery of Art, Smithsonian Institution in the USA. The intricate carving of this pendant reflects the artistic mastery of Chinese craftsmen during the Shang Dynasty (ca. 1600-ca. WWII era provenance). The bird's graceful contours and meticulous details are testament to their skillful craftsmanship. Jade holds great significance in Chinese culture, symbolizing purity, beauty, and immortality. It was believed to possess protective qualities and bring good luck to its wearer. This extraordinary artifact not only represents an important aspect of ancient Chinese art but also provides valuable insights into their beliefs and customs during that time period. Acquired as a gift from Arthur M. Sackler, this pendant now resides within the prestigious collections of the Freer Gallery of Art where it continues to captivate visitors with its timeless beauty. Through this mesmerizing photograph by Bridgeman Images, we are able to appreciate both the historical importance and aesthetic appeal of this exceptional piece from antiquity.
