EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of Chinese artistry from the Yuan Dynasty. The image features a snuff bottle, traditionally used to hold rock crystal perfume, crafted with exquisite detail and precision. Made from black onyx, this particular bottle takes the form of a majestic horse, symbolizing strength and grace. The craftsmanship displayed in this artwork is truly awe-inspiring. Every curve and contour of the horse's body has been meticulously carved to capture its lifelike essence. The glossy black onyx adds an air of elegance and sophistication to the overall composition. Dating back to the 14th century, this artifact offers us a glimpse into ancient Chinese culture and their appreciation for beauty products. It serves as a testament to their mastery in creating functional objects that are also works of art. This photograph beautifully captures every intricate detail of this historical treasure. The lighting highlights the smooth texture of the onyx while emphasizing its rich color tones. Through Giancarlo Costa's lens, we can appreciate both the artistic value and historical significance of this unique snuff bottle. Displayed in a private collection today, this extraordinary piece continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty. Its presence reminds us of China's enduring artistic legacy and invites contemplation about how such delicate creations have stood the test of time.
