EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from ancient China, known as the "Garment hook". Created between 480-221 BC, this exquisite piece is made of bronze with intricate gold and silver inlay. Its delicate craftsmanship and attention to detail are truly awe-inspiring. Measuring at 10.1x2.1x2.3 cm (4 x 13/16 x 7/8 in), this garment hook now resides in the prestigious Freer Gallery of Art, Smithsonian Institution, USA. It was generously gifted by Arthur M. Sackler, adding to its historical significance. The Chinese School's expertise during the 5th-3rd century BC shines through this artwork's design and execution. The combination of metals used for inlay adds an extra layer of opulence and elegance to the overall composition. Not only does this garment hook serve as a testament to ancient metalwork techniques but it also offers us a glimpse into fashion practices during that era. This small yet essential accessory would have played a vital role in securing garments together while simultaneously showcasing the wearer's status and style. As we admire this extraordinary artifact captured beautifully by Bridgeman Images, we can't help but marvel at how art has transcended time, allowing us to connect with our ancestors' creativity and ingenuity across centuries.
