EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from ancient China, known as the "Notched disk". Crafted between 1300 and 1050 BC during the Anyang period, this exquisite piece is made of precious jade and nephrite. The intricate notches on its surface add to its allure, hinting at a deeper symbolism or purpose. The Notched disk provides us with a glimpse into the rich history of the Shang Dynasty, which thrived around 1600 to 1046 BC. Its impeccable craftsmanship and use of rare materials reflect the advanced skills possessed by Chinese artisans during that era. With origins dating back over three millennia, this artifact has witnessed countless events throughout human civilization. It has survived wars and conflicts, including World War II when it found itself in an intriguing provenance. Now preserved within the esteemed Freer Sackler Gallery's collection, thanks to Arthur M. Sackler's generous gift, this Notched disk continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty. Bridgeman Images' expertly captured photograph allows us to appreciate every intricate detail of this ancient masterpiece.
