EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact known as the Dagger Axe, fragment reworked, dating back to approximately 2000-1400 BC. Crafted from exquisite jade and nephrite by the Chinese School during the 20th-14th century BC, this ceremonial object measures 7.6x23.8x0.5 cm (3 x 9 3/8 x 3/16 in). Housed at the prestigious Freer Gallery of Art within the Smithsonian Institution in the USA, this ancient treasure holds immense historical significance. The Dagger Axe is believed to have originated during China's Erlitou period (ca. 2000-1600 BCE) and later used throughout the Shang Dynasty (ca. 1600-ca. 1050 BCE). The intricate craftsmanship displayed on this fragment speaks volumes about its cultural importance and symbolic value within ancient Chinese society. Its elegant design reflects meticulous attention to detail and a deep reverence for both beauty and functionality. With an intriguing WWII-era provenance, this extraordinary piece has undoubtedly witnessed countless chapters of history unfold before it found its way into Arthur M. Sackler's collection at Freer Gallery of Art. As we admire this photograph captured by Bridgeman Images, we are reminded of humanity's enduring fascination with artistry that transcends time itself - a testament to our collective desire to preserve our cultural heritage for generations to come.
