EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the Eastern Han dynasty in China, dating back to the years between A. D. 25 and 220. The wellhead depicted here is adorned with intricately crafted dragon heads, representing mythical creatures deeply rooted in Chinese mythology. Created by an unknown artist, this ceramic masterpiece features a vibrant green lead glaze that adds a splash of color to its overall appearance. The image transports us to an art gallery or institute, possibly the renowned Art Institute of Chicago, where this extraordinary piece finds its home among other treasures from Asia. Its presence highlights the enduring legacy of ancient civilizations and their artistic achievements. As we gaze upon this relic, we are reminded of the rich heritage and cultural significance it holds within its delicate form. Dragons have long been revered in Chinese culture as symbols of power, wisdom, and good fortune. These mythological creatures guard water wells like this one, ensuring prosperity for those who draw from them. Though created centuries ago during a distant era known as the Han dynasty, this artwork continues to captivate viewers today with its timeless beauty and historical value. It serves as a testament to human creativity throughout different periods in history while offering us glimpses into ancient traditions and beliefs that continue to shape our world today
