EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the Liangzhu culture, dating back to the late Neolithic period in China. The Nine-tier tube (cong ceA) with masks, crafted between 3300-2250 BC, is an exquisite piece made of jade and nephrite. Its intricate design and craftsmanship reflect the artistic brilliance of this ancient civilization. The nine-tiered structure of the tube is adorned with intricately carved masks, adding a touch of mystique to its overall appearance. Each mask exhibits unique features and expressions, hinting at the rich symbolism embedded within this ceremonial object. The significance and purpose behind this extraordinary creation remain shrouded in mystery. Was it used for religious rituals or as an emblem of social status? Perhaps it served both purposes simultaneously? Regardless, its undeniable beauty transcends time and continues to captivate art enthusiasts today. This particular print captures every minute detail of the Nine-tier tube (cong ceA), allowing us to appreciate its delicate contours and expertly executed carvings. The use of jade and nephrite further enhances its allure, symbolizing purity and longevity in Chinese culture. Preserved through centuries, this artifact has now found a home at eFreer Slacker Gallery as a generous gift from Arthur M. Sackler. As we gaze upon this image captured by Robb Harrell's lens, we are transported back in time to witness the magnificence of Liangzhu culture's artistic legacy firsthand.
