EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases two statuettes from the late Zhou Dynasty, dating back to the 4th - 3rd century BC. Created by an unknown Chinese artist, these wooden sculptures are currently housed in the prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The statuettes stand as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of ancient China. The left figure measures at a height of 38.2 centimeters, while its counterpart on the right stands taller at 58.4 centimeters. Both pieces have been intricately carved and painted with vibrant polychrome colors, featuring vermilion and black hues. These figurines were likely used for burial or funerary purposes during that era, serving as symbolic representations within ceremonies and rituals. Their angular carvings and stylized features add a unique charm to their overall aesthetic appeal. Capturing the essence of traditional Asian artistry, this pair of sculptures is a remarkable example of craftsmanship from centuries ago. As we admire their beauty today, it is important to acknowledge that there may be copyright restrictions surrounding their use due to national laws. This stunning image was captured by eBoltin Picture Library and can be found on Fine Art Finder through www. bridgemanimages. com – offering us an opportunity to appreciate these historical treasures even if we cannot witness them firsthand at the museum itself.
