This print showcases a Three-tier tube (cong ?) from the Late Neolithic period, dating back to approximately 3300-2250 BCE. The creator of this remarkable artifact remains unknown, adding an air of mystery and intrigue to its historical significance. The image captures the exquisite craftsmanship of this ceremonial object, which was likely used in ancient Chinese rituals. Its cream-colored jade nephrite composition exudes elegance and sophistication. The smooth surface may show signs of weathering or organic matter, further enhancing its authenticity. Displayed against a pristine white background in a studio setting, every intricate detail is brought to life. The close-up shot allows us to appreciate the delicate carvings and meticulous design that went into creating this ritual vessel. Preserved by scientific institutions such as the Smithsonian Institution's Freer Gallery of Art and Arthur M Sackler Gallery, this three-tier tube offers valuable insights into China's rich cultural heritage during the late Neolithic era. It serves as a testament to humanity's artistic achievements and provides a glimpse into ancient ceremonial practices. As we admire this extraordinary piece through time captured in photography, we are reminded of our connection with our ancestors who once held it with reverence.
