EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable pendant in the form of a cicada, crafted during the Anyang period (c. 1300-c. 1050 BCE) by Chinese School artisans. Made from exquisite jade, this delicate artifact measures 4.5x2.1x0.6 cm and holds immense historical significance. The pendant's intricate carving reflects the artistic mastery of its creators, who skillfully captured the essence of a cicada in stone. Symbolizing rebirth and immortality in ancient Chinese culture, this insect holds deep spiritual meaning. Dating back to around 1100-1000 BC, this pendant provides us with a glimpse into the rich heritage of China's Shang Dynasty (ca. 1600-ca. 1050 BCE) and Western Zhou Dynasty (ca. 1050-771 BCE). Its impeccable craftsmanship is testament to the advanced skills possessed by these early civilizations. With an intriguing provenance that includes WWII era origins, this jade pendant has found its way into the prestigious Freer Sackler Gallery as part of Arthur M. Sackler's generous gift collection. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured every detail of this extraordinary piece through their fine art photography expertise, allowing viewers to appreciate its beauty and historical value without commercial intent or association with any specific company. This print serves as a visual tribute to both ancient Chinese craftsmanship and Bridgeman Images' commitment to preserving and sharing significant works of art for generations to come.
