EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from ancient China, specifically the Anyang period (c. 1300-c. 1050 BCE). The finial, crafted in the form of a bird, is an exquisite example of Chinese artistry and craftsmanship. Made from jade and nephrite, this small yet intricate piece measures 4.7x3.5x0.9 cm. The delicate carving depicts a bird with graceful wings outstretched and its beak slightly open as if ready to take flight. The attention to detail is evident in every feather meticulously etched onto the surface of the stone. What makes this particular finial even more intriguing is that it has been reworked over time, adding layers of history to its already fascinating story. Its age places it within the Shang Dynasty era (ca. 1600-ca1050 BCE), making it an incredibly rare find. With its rich heritage dating back thousands of years, this stunning artifact offers us a glimpse into ancient Chinese culture and artistic traditions that have captivated generations for centuries. Displayed here as a print by Bridgeman Images, we are fortunate to witness this extraordinary piece preserved at Freer Sackler Gallery thanks to Arthur M. Sackler's generous gift.
