EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient Chinese art, the Pendant (huang) in the form of a bird or dragon. Created during the 8th century BC, this exquisite jade pendant is a testament to the incredible craftsmanship and artistic skills of the Chinese School from that era. Measuring at just 3.3x7.3x0.3 cm, this small yet intricate pendant holds immense cultural and historical significance. The delicate carving depicts either a bird or a dragon, symbolizing power, strength, and auspiciousness in Chinese mythology. The Western Zhou Dynasty (ca. 1050-771 BCE) marked an important period for China's development and artistic expression, making this artifact even more valuable as it provides insights into ancient traditions and beliefs. With its beautiful bas reliefs and wooden carving-like appearance, this pendant exemplifies the mastery of jade workmanship prevalent in ancient China. Its timeless beauty transcends centuries and continues to captivate viewers today. Thanks to Arthur M. Sackler's generous gift, this precious artwork now resides at the Freer Sackler Gallery where it can be admired by visitors from around the world. This photograph by Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate every intricate detail of this exceptional piece while reminding us of China's rich cultural heritage that spans thousands of years.
