EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite jade hare figurine dates back to the 7th to 10th centuries, during the Tang Dynasty in China. The precise origins of this piece are unknown, but it is believed to have been crafted during a period of great artistic and cultural flourishing in Chinese history. The hare, a popular motif in Chinese mythology and folklore, is depicted in a typical, crouching position with its hind legs tucked under its body and its front paws resting on the ground. The figure's intricate details and lifelike features suggest the skillful hand of a master craftsman. The hare was likely carved from a single piece of abraded jade, a prized material for its beauty and durability. The greenish-gray color of the jade has been polished to a high sheen, enhancing the figure's natural luster. The hare's ears are delicately carved and its eyes are inlaid with black jade, adding depth and dimension to the piece. This hare figurine is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), one of the premier art institutions in the United States. It is on display in the museum's Asian Art department, where it is admired by visitors from around the world for its historical significance and artistic merit. The hare figurine is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of China and the enduring appeal of traditional Chinese art.
