EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing pendant dating back to the Anyang period in ancient China, specifically from around 1300-1050 BC. Crafted with exquisite skill and precision, this delicate piece is made of jade and nephrite, two precious materials highly valued during that era. The pendant takes the form of a graceful water bird, symbolizing tranquility and grace. Its intricate carving reflects the artistic mastery of the Chinese School during this time. Measuring at just 3.3x3.2x0.4 cm (1 5/16 x 1 1/4 x 3/16 in), it is truly remarkable how such intricate details could be achieved on such a small scale. With its rich history spanning over three millennia, this pendant has witnessed countless moments throughout human civilization. It carries within it the legacy of the Shang Dynasty (ca. 1600-ca. 1050 BCE) and bears witness to an era long gone. Originally part of Arthur M. Sackler's collection, this extraordinary artifact now finds its home at Freer Sackler Gallery as a generous gift from him to art enthusiasts worldwide. Through this beautifully captured image by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to appreciate not only the craftsmanship but also the cultural significance embedded within each stroke of carving on this magnificent jade pendant.
