This print showcases a remarkable belt ornament from the Northern Song dynasty, dating back to 960-1127. Crafted by an unknown creator, this exquisite piece is part of a set of eight ornate belt fittings. The intricate design and meticulous craftsmanship reflect the artistic brilliance of ancient Chinese culture. Made from gilded bronze, this belt ornament features stunning repoussé work that adds depth and texture to its surface. The delicate details are highlighted with a lustrous gold color, giving it a regal and opulent appearance. The use of turquoise accents further enhances its beauty, creating an enchanting contrast against the golden background. Photographed in close-up detail against a pristine white background, every aspect of this artifact is brought to life. Its square shape allows for a clear view of each carefully crafted element, making it an ideal subject for study and appreciation. Preserved within the renowned Arthur M Sackler Gallery at the Smithsonian Institution's Freer Gallery of Art, this precious relic stands as a testament to China's rich heritage in decorative arts. As we gaze upon this image captured by Heritage Images' skilled photographers, we are transported back in time to witness the splendor and elegance that once adorned clothing during the Song dynasty. This print serves as both an educational tool for institutions dedicated to scientific research and as a source of inspiration for art enthusiasts worldwide who seek to explore different cultures through their visual expressions.
