EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable pendant in the form of a water buffalo, dating back to approximately 1100-1000 BC. Crafted from exquisite jade, this ancient Chinese artifact is attributed to the Anyang period (c. 1300-c. 1050 BCE) and measures 2.7x5x1 cm. The intricate carving of this piece reflects the artistic mastery of the Shang Dynasty (c. 1600-c. 1046 BCE), known for their exceptional craftsmanship in jade jewelry and carvings. The water buffalo, symbolizing strength and fertility in Chinese culture, is depicted with great attention to detail. With its rich historical significance, this pendant offers a glimpse into China's ancient past during the Anyang period—a time characterized by significant advancements in bronze casting and oracle bone inscriptions. Acquired as part of WWII-era provenance, this precious artifact now resides at the Freer Sackler Gallery as a generous gift from Arthur M. Sackler. Bridgeman Images has skillfully captured every nuance of this extraordinary pendant through their expert photography, allowing art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate its beauty and cultural importance without commercial use or association with any specific company.
