EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent jade finial in the form of a dragon head, dating back to the Yuan Dynasty (1279-1368) in China. The intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident in this exquisite piece of art. Measuring 6.9x5.1x24.3 cm, or approximately 2 11/16 x 2 x 9 9/16 inches, this dragon head finial is housed at the Freer Gallery of Art, Smithsonian Institution in the USA. It was generously gifted by Arthur M. Sackler. The dragon has long been revered as a symbol of power and good fortune in Chinese culture, and this finial beautifully captures its mythical essence. Crafted from precious jade, known for its beauty and spiritual significance, it exudes an aura of elegance and grace. With its origins tracing back centuries ago during the Yuan Dynasty, this artifact carries with it a rich history that adds to its allure. Its provenance during the World War II era further deepens our fascination with this remarkable piece.
