EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable pendant in the form of a fish, reworked during the Anyang period (c. 1300-c. 1050 BCE) in China. Crafted from exquisite jade and nephrite, this ancient artifact measures 5.6x11.7x0.6 cm (2 3/16 x 4 5/8 x 1/4 in). The intricate carving of this pendant reflects the artistic mastery of the Shang Dynasty (c. 1600-1050 BCE), known for their exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail. The smooth curves and delicate features bring this fish-shaped ornament to life, capturing the essence of wildlife with its lifelike representation. With its rich history dating back thousands of years, this piece holds immense cultural significance as it provides insight into ancient Chinese beliefs and traditions surrounding animals and nature. Acquired during WWII era provenance, this pendant has found its way to the prestigious Freer Sackler Gallery through a generous gift from Arthur M. Sackler. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured every intricate detail of this stunning artifact, allowing viewers to appreciate both its historical value and aesthetic beauty.
