EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable pendant in the form of a bird, dating back to the Shang Dynasty in ancient China. Crafted from exquisite jade and nephrite, this piece is a testament to the exceptional artistry and craftsmanship of that era. Measuring at 3.2x2.7x0.6 cm, or approximately 1 1/4 x 1 1/16 x 1/4 inches, its small size only adds to its delicate beauty. What makes this pendant even more intriguing is that it has been reworked over time, adding layers of history and mystery to its story. With origins spanning from around c. 1300-1050 BC, it bears witness to centuries of cultural evolution and artistic refinement. The eFreer Slacker Gallery proudly displays this rare artifact as part of their collection after receiving it as a generous gift from Arthur M. Sackler. Its significance extends beyond its aesthetic appeal; it serves as an invaluable link between our modern world and the rich heritage of ancient Chinese civilization. As we gaze upon this stunning carving, we are transported back in time - imagining the skilled hands that meticulously shaped every curve and contour with utmost precision. This pendant not only represents an extraordinary work of art but also symbolizes the enduring legacy left by those who came before us. Through Bridgeman Images' lens, we have the privilege to appreciate this awe-inspiring creation - an emblematic treasure that continues to captivate hearts across generations.
