EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite Ancestor tablet dating back to the 11th century BC. Crafted from precious jade and nephrite, this remarkable piece of art belongs to the Chinese School of the Shang Dynasty (c. 1600-1050 BC). Measuring 11.9x2.2x0.4 cm, it is a testament to the incredible craftsmanship of its time. The intricate details and delicate design of this ancestral tablet are truly awe-inspiring. It serves as a tangible link to ancient Chinese traditions and beliefs, offering us a glimpse into their rich cultural heritage. The smoothness and luster of the jade further enhance its beauty, making it an object worthy of admiration. Housed in the eFreer Slacker Gallery, this artifact was generously gifted by Arthur M. Sackler, adding to its historical significance and value. Its provenance can be traced back to the Western Zhou Dynasty (ca. 1050-771 BCE), with ties even reaching World War II era. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time, imagining how this ancestral tablet once held great importance within its community – perhaps serving as a symbol of reverence or acting as a conduit between past generations and present ones. Through Bridgeman Images' lens, we have been granted access to appreciate not only the artistic mastery behind this ceremonial object but also gain insights into China's ancient history that continues to captivate our imagination today.
