EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a rare bronze axe from the 11th century BC, belonging to the Western Zhou Dynasty. The circular axe head is adorned with an intricate whorl-star motif on both sides, adding a touch of elegance to its functional design. Standing out prominently from one side of the tubular socket is a remarkable figure of a majestic tiger. The craftsmanship and attention to detail in this ancient artifact are truly awe-inspiring. This bronze axe not only served as a formidable weapon but also as an essential tool for various tasks during that era. Its multi-functionality highlights the ingenuity and resourcefulness of our ancestors. The tawny hue of the tiger depicted on this exquisite piece adds an element of vibrancy and liveliness to its overall appearance. Tigers have always held symbolic significance in Chinese culture, representing power, courage, and protection. Preserved within a private collection, this exceptional bronze axe provides us with invaluable insights into the artistic prowess and cultural heritage of ancient China. It serves as a testament to human creativity across centuries and reminds us of our connection to history. Captured beautifully by Bridgeman Images for Fine Art Finder, this photograph allows us to appreciate every intricate detail while immersing ourselves in the rich tapestry of Chinese artistry from over three millennia ago.
