EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable jade carving known as "Hen, 960-1279". Created by the Chinese School during the Song Dynasty (960-1279), this delicate piece measures 5.2x6.9x2.3 cm and is currently housed in the prestigious Freer Gallery of Art at the Smithsonian Institution in the USA. The intricate craftsmanship of this ornamental hen is truly awe-inspiring. Every detail, from its feathers to its beak, has been meticulously carved into the smooth surface of the jade with great precision and skill. The artist's ability to bring life to this stone medium is evident in every curve and contour. With its rich history dating back centuries, this exquisite artifact also holds a fascinating WWII-era provenance. It serves as a testament to both ancient Chinese artistry and its survival through tumultuous times. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this masterpiece, allowing us to appreciate its beauty up close. This print not only preserves an important part of Chinese cultural heritage but also invites viewers to marvel at the mastery behind such intricate carvings.
