This print showcases an exquisite Ancestor tablet, crafted during the Shang Dynasty in China around 1400-1300 BC. Made from precious jade and nephrite, this artifact measures 20.2x2.3x1.2 cm (7 15/16 x 7/8 x 1/2 in), displaying remarkable craftsmanship and attention to detail. The Ancestor tablet holds immense historical significance as it provides a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of ancient China. It serves as a testament to the reverence and respect that was bestowed upon ancestors during this period. The intricate carvings on the tablet depict various symbols and motifs that hold deep spiritual meaning within Chinese culture. These engravings not only showcase the artistic prowess of the Chinese School but also offer valuable insights into their beliefs, rituals, and traditions. With its smooth texture and vibrant green hue, this piece exemplifies the beauty of jade, which has long been revered for its rarity and symbolic value in Chinese society. Acquired by Arthur M. Sackler before finding its home at eFreer Slacker Gallery, this ancestral relic carries with it a sense of history and legacy that spans centuries.
