EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable pair of slide fittings in the form of monkeys, dating back to the Late Shang dynasty or early Western Zhou dynasty (ca. 1100-900 BCE). Crafted with exquisite detail and precision, these bronze figurines are a testament to the artistic prowess of ancient Chinese craftsmen. The image provides a close-up view of these monkey-shaped slide fasteners, highlighting their intricate design and vibrant color. Against a pristine white background, the monkeys stand out as they capture our attention with their playful expressions and lifelike poses. Displayed at the Arthur M Sackler Gallery within the Smithsonian Institution's Freer Gallery of Art, this piece represents an important part of China's cultural heritage. It serves as both an educational tool for students and scholars alike, offering insights into the decorative arts and metalwork techniques prevalent during this period. Although created by an unknown artist centuries ago, these monkey statuettes continue to captivate viewers today. Their presence evokes curiosity about life in ancient China and sparks admiration for the skillful craftsmanship exhibited by its artisans. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen in history – where artistry meets functionality through these extraordinary monkey-shaped slide fittings.
