EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an extraordinary piece of ancient Chinese art - an Ox-shaped wine vase, surmounted by a tiger. Created during the Western Zhou Dynasty between 1027-771 BC, this bronze masterpiece stands as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of China. Measuring at 24x38 cm, this exquisite artifact can be found in the Xi'an Beilin Museum in Shaanxi Province, China. The intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident in every aspect of this sculpture. The ox-shaped body serves as the base for the majestic tiger that sits atop it, symbolizing strength and power. The Western Zhou Dynasty was known for its advancements in bronze casting techniques, and this wine vase is a prime example of their mastery. It not only served practical purposes but also held great symbolic significance within ancient Chinese society. Capturing both beauty and historical value, photographer Philippe Toutain has expertly immortalized this remarkable artwork through his lens. This print allows us to appreciate the elegance and grandeur of Chinese art while providing insight into one of history's most fascinating civilizations.
