EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable pendant in the form of a dragon, believed to have been reworked from a bracelet. Created during the Anyang period (c. 1300-c. 1050 BCE) by Chinese School artisans, this exquisite piece is made from jade, specifically nephrite. Measuring 7x3x1.5 cm (2 3/4 x 1 3/16 x 9/16 in), this intricately carved pendant is a testament to the skilled craftsmanship of its time. The dragon motif holds great significance in Chinese culture, symbolizing power, strength, and good fortune. With its origins dating back over three millennia ago to the Shang Dynasty (ca. 1600-ca. WWII era provenance), this pendant carries immense historical value and cultural importance. Its smooth texture and vibrant green hue make it an aesthetically pleasing work of art that continues to captivate viewers today. The Freer Sackler Gallery has been fortunate enough to acquire this extraordinary piece as part of their collection through the generous gift of Arthur M. Sackler. This print by Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate every intricate detail and admire the skillful carving techniques employed by ancient Chinese artisans during one of China's most significant periods in history - the Anyang period.
