EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of Chinese art: an ornamental plaque depicting a boar attacked by two tigers. Created during the Han period, which spanned from 206 BC to 8 AD, this artwork is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of China. The intricate carving and attention to detail in this plaque are truly awe-inspiring. The artist skillfully captures the intense struggle between the boar and the two tigers, freezing that moment in time for eternity. The ferocity and power of these animals are palpable as they engage in their primal battle. The choice of subject matter holds symbolic significance within Chinese culture. Tigers represent strength, courage, and protection, while boars symbolize resilience and determination. This artwork may have been created as a talisman or decorative item with auspicious connotations. Preserved in a private collection, this artifact serves as a window into ancient Chinese history and artistic expression. Its timeless beauty transcends generations and continues to captivate viewers today.
