EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite Ornament in the form of a mask, dating back to the Anyang period (c. 1300-c. 1050 BCE) of ancient China. Crafted from jade and nephrite, this remarkable piece measures 11.3x7.6x0.6 cm and is housed at the Freer Gallery of Art, Smithsonian Institution in the USA. The delicate carving depicts a mesmerizing mask with intricate details that reflect the artistic mastery of its creators during the Shang Dynasty (ca. 1600-ca. WWII era). The smoothness and translucency of jade enhance its ethereal beauty, while nephrite adds depth and richness to its overall appearance. With origins shrouded in mystery, this artifact carries immense historical significance as it provides insights into ancient Chinese culture and craftsmanship from over three thousand years ago. Its impeccable preservation allows us to marvel at the skillful artistry employed by artisans during this era. Generously gifted by Arthur M. Sackler, this precious item now resides within one of America's most esteemed cultural institutions - The Freer Gallery of Art at Smithsonian Institution - where it continues to captivate visitors with its timeless allure. This stunning photograph by Bridgeman Images serves as a testament to both the enduring legacy of Chinese artistry and our human fascination with preserving history through tangible artifacts like this magnificent jade mask ornament from centuries past.
