EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable pendant in the form of a fish, believed to have been reworked from either a flanged bracelet or collared disk. Created during the Anyang period (c. 1300-c. 1050 BCE) by Chinese School artisans, this exquisite piece measures 3.6x7.3x1 cm and is crafted from precious jade and nephrite. The intricate carving skillfully captures the essence of this aquatic creature, with its graceful curves and delicate details bringing it to life. The use of jade and nephrite adds an element of elegance and rarity to this ancient artifact. Dating back thousands of years ago, this pendant offers us a glimpse into the rich history of China's Shang Dynasty (ca. 1600-ca. 1050 BCE). Its provenance also reveals that it survived through various eras including World War II. The presence of animals in art has always held symbolic significance, representing various qualities such as strength, fertility, or spirituality. In this case, the fish symbolizes abundance and prosperity in Chinese culture. Displayed here by Bridgeman Images on behalf of Fine Art Finder, this photograph allows us to appreciate not only the craftsmanship but also the beauty found within nature itself. It serves as a reminder that art can transcend time and connect us with civilizations long gone while still evoking awe and admiration today.
