EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable garment hook (daigou) from the late 4th to early 3rd century BC, created by the Chinese School. Crafted with exquisite detail and precision, this gilt cast bronze piece is adorned with intricate designs of dragon and raptor heads, as well as two elegant deer figures. Measuring at 14.2x5.8x2.9 cm, this daigou is a testament to the exceptional craftsmanship of ancient China. The use of turquoise jade and glass inlays adds a touch of vibrant color to the overall composition, enhancing its visual appeal. The historical significance of this artifact cannot be understated. It belongs to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty (770-221 BCE), specifically during the Warring States Period (475-221 BCE). Its provenance even includes an intriguing connection to World War II era. The fusion of metalwork techniques such as casting and gilding exemplifies the mastery achieved by ancient Chinese artisans in creating functional yet aesthetically pleasing objects like this garment hook. Now housed in the Freer Sackler Gallery, this extraordinary piece was generously gifted by Arthur M. Sackler himself. Its presence serves as a reminder of China's rich cultural heritage and artistic legacy that continues to captivate audiences worldwide.
