EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite ornament from the Late Neolithic period, dating back to approximately 1050-950 BCE. Crafted in China during the Western Zhou dynasty, this remarkable piece is a testament to the artistic prowess of its unknown creator. The ornament takes the form of an animal head and crest, meticulously reworked from a tube (cong?) fragment. The image offers a close-up view of this ceremonial object, highlighting its symmetrical design and delicate details. Made from nephrite jade, it exudes an air of elegance against a pristine white background. Its color palette adds depth and intrigue to its overall aesthetic. Displayed at the Arthur M Sackler Gallery within the Smithsonian Institution's Freer Gallery of Art, this artifact represents China's rich cultural heritage. It serves as both an educational tool for students and scholars alike and as a source of inspiration for art enthusiasts who visit this renowned gallery. Located in the Lake Tai region, this artwork provides valuable insights into ancient Chinese civilizations that flourished thousands of years ago. As we admire this masterpiece today, we are reminded of our connection to our prehistoric ancestors and their incredible artistic achievements. With its timeless beauty preserved through photography by Heritage Images, this photograph allows us to appreciate and study this extraordinary artifact even if its creator remains unknown.
