EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a remarkable pendant from the Western Zhou Dynasty, dating back to around 1000-900 BC. Crafted with exquisite skill and precision, this jade and nephrite pendant takes the form of a bird, capturing the imagination with its graceful curves and intricate details. Measuring at 8.6x4.1x0.4 cm, or approximately 3 3/8 x 1 5/8 x 3/16 in, this ancient treasure is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of China. The delicate carving on the surface of the jade reveals an astonishing level of craftsmanship that has stood the test of time. The pendant's origins can be traced back to WWII-era provenance when it was gifted by Arthur M. Sackler to eFreer Slacker Gallery as part of their collection. Today, it resides within their esteemed gallery as a symbol of cultural significance and historical value. Adorned with this mesmerizing piece, one cannot help but marvel at its beauty and wonder about its past owners who cherished it throughout centuries gone by. This pendant serves as a tangible link between our modern world and an ancient civilization that thrived thousands of years ago. Through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are granted access to appreciate not only the aesthetic allure but also gain insight into Chinese artistry during one of its most influential periods - truly reminding us how art transcends time itself.
