EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from ancient China, dating back to the Western Zhou Dynasty between 1300 and 1050 BC. The finial, crafted out of exquisite jade nephrite, takes the form of an elegant bird. Its delicate features and intricate carving demonstrate the exceptional craftsmanship of Chinese artisans during this period. Measuring at 10.1x3.9x0.6 cm, or approximately 4x1 9/16x1/4 inches, this small yet significant piece holds great historical value. It is currently housed in the eFreer Slacker Gallery as a generous gift from Arthur M. Sackler. The bird-shaped finial not only serves as a decorative item but also symbolizes cultural significance within Chinese artistry and spirituality. Birds were often associated with freedom, gracefulness, and divine connections in ancient Chinese mythology. With its rich history spanning over thousands of years, this extraordinary artifact offers us a glimpse into the artistic achievements of one of the world's oldest civilizations – China. Its timeless beauty continues to captivate viewers today and stands as a testament to human creativity throughout different eras. Through this photograph by Bridgeman Images, we are able to appreciate both the fine details and grandeur encapsulated within such an ancient treasure that has survived for centuries.
