EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable cylindrical bead dating back to approximately 3000-1700 BC. Crafted from exquisite jade and nephrite, this ancient artifact is a testament to the artistic prowess of the Chinese School during the 3rd-2nd millennium BC. Measuring at an impressive 6.1x1.4 cm, this delicate bead can be found in the esteemed Freer Gallery of Art, Smithsonian Institution in the USA. The intricate carving on this bead reflects the rich cultural heritage of China's late Neolithic period, which spanned from around 5000 to 1700 BCE. Its smooth surface and meticulous craftsmanship evoke a sense of awe and admiration for the skilled artisans who created it centuries ago. With its WWII era provenance and historical significance, this jade and nephrite bead holds immense value as both an archaeological treasure and a work of art. Generously gifted by Arthur M. Sackler, it now resides within the prestigious collections of the Freer Gallery. Photographer Robert Harrell expertly captures every detail of this extraordinary piece with precision and finesse through his lens. His photograph allows viewers to appreciate not only its beauty but also its historical importance in shaping our understanding of ancient Chinese civilization.
