EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from ancient China, known as the Ritual disk (bi). Created during the Western Zhou Dynasty in the 10th century BC, this exquisite piece is made of jade and nephrite. The delicate craftsmanship is evident in its intricate carving and ornamental design. Measuring at just 0.6x11.4x11.4 cm, this small but significant artifact holds great historical and cultural value. It was generously gifted to the eFreer Slacker Gallery by Arthur M. Sackler, adding to its prestige and importance. The Ritual disk (bi) symbolizes an era long gone by, serving as a testament to the artistic skills and spiritual beliefs of ancient Chinese civilization. Its smooth surface reflects light beautifully, showcasing shades of green that are characteristic of nephrite stone. With origins dating back over three thousand years ago, this precious artifact has survived through time and witnessed countless chapters of history unfold before it. Its presence serves as a reminder of our connection to our ancestors and their rich cultural heritage. As we admire this photograph captured by Bridgeman Images, we can't help but marvel at the beauty encapsulated within such a small object - an enduring testament to human creativity and ingenuity that transcends time itself.
