The intricate design features a mesmerizing depiction of a tiger and snake, symbolizing power and wisdom respectively. This close-up shot allows us to appreciate the exquisite craftsmanship of this bronze decorative art piece. Displayed at the Arthur M Sackler Gallery, part of the Smithsonian Institution, this image transports us back in time to an era when music played an integral role in Chinese culture.

The vibrant colors and detailed decoration on this ancient artifact reflect its significance as both a musical instrument accessory and an artistic masterpiece. Its presence in educational institutions like museums further emphasizes its value as an important historical relic that offers insights into ancient Chinese civilization. As we admire this studio-shot image captured by an unknown artist, we are reminded of the rich heritage preserved within such scientific institutions.
