EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable pendant from the Late Shang dynasty, dating back to approximately 1300-1050 BCE. Crafted with exquisite skill and attention to detail, this pendant takes the form of a majestic tiger. The tiger holds great significance in Chinese culture, symbolizing power, strength, and protection. The photograph captures the close-up view of this extraordinary piece of art. Carved meticulously out of jade nephrite, the pendant exhibits a stunning cream color that adds an air of elegance to its overall appearance. Against a pristine white background, every intricate detail is highlighted beautifully. Displayed at the Arthur M Sackler Gallery within the Smithsonian Institution's Freer Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , this pendant represents an invaluable part of China's rich heritage. It serves as both an educational tool and a testament to ancient craftsmanship. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back thousands of years into China's history - a time when skilled artisans dedicated their talents to create objects that would endure through generations. This photograph invites us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the cultural significance behind such masterpieces. With its timeless allure and artistic excellence, this pendant continues to captivate viewers today just as it did centuries ago during its creation by an unknown artist.
