EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from ancient China, the Scabbard Chape (bi) dating back to the 3rd-1st century BC. Crafted with exquisite jade, this piece is a testament to the exceptional craftsmanship of the Chinese School during the Han dynasty (206 BCE-220 AD). Measuring at 4x5.8x1.6 cm, it may be small in size but carries immense historical significance. The Scabbard Chape (bi) features intricate details and delicate carvings that highlight its cultural importance. Its elegant design reflects the artistic sensibilities of its time and provides us with a glimpse into ancient Chinese aesthetics. With a provenance tracing back to World War II era, this precious artifact has survived through generations before finding its way into the esteemed Freer Sackler Gallery as a generous gift from Arthur M. Sackler. Photographed by Robb Harrell, this image captures every nuance and texture of the Scabbard Chape (bi), allowing viewers to appreciate its beauty up close. The use of natural lighting enhances both the vibrant green hues of jade and subtle shadows cast on its surface. As we admire this photograph, let us marvel at how art can transcend time and connect us with civilizations long gone. It serves as a reminder of our shared human history and invites contemplation on our place within it.
