EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite Ancestor tablet, dating back to the Anyang period in ancient China, approximately between 1300 and 1050 BC. Crafted from jade and nephrite, this delicate piece of art measures 16.7x2.1x1.3 cm (6 9/16 x 13/16 x 1/2 in). The intricate design and meticulous craftsmanship of this tablet reflect the rich cultural heritage of the Shang Dynasty during that era. The smoothness of the jade surface combined with the vibrant green color creates a sense of elegance and reverence. The Ancestor tablet served as a significant artifact for ancestral worship practices prevalent in Chinese culture at that time. It symbolized a deep connection between past generations and their descendants, bridging the gap between life and death. With its origins traced back to WWII-era provenance, this remarkable piece has found its way into the prestigious Freer Sackler Gallery through Arthur M. Sackler's generous gift. Through this stunning photograph captured by Robb Harrell, we are transported back in time to appreciate not only the artistic mastery but also gain insight into ancient Chinese beliefs and traditions surrounding ancestor veneration.
