EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable pendant in the form of a water buffalo, reworked during the Anyang period (c. 1300-c. 1050 BC) in ancient China. Crafted from exquisite jade, this small yet intricate piece measures 2.5x3.8x0.6 cm (1 x 1 1/2 x 1/4 in). The pendant's design reflects the artistic brilliance of the Shang Dynasty (ca. 1600-ca. 1050 BCE), known for their mastery of carving and jewelry making techniques. The water buffalo, revered as a symbol of strength and fertility in Chinese culture, is beautifully depicted with meticulous attention to detail. With its rich history dating back over three thousand years, this artifact carries immense cultural significance and serves as a testament to the craftsmanship of ancient Chinese artisans. Acquired by the Freer Sackler Gallery as part of Arthur M. Sackler's generous gift, this pendant has an intriguing provenance that includes being reworked during World War II era - adding another layer to its historical narrative. Through this photograph captured by Bridgeman Images for Fine Art Finder, viewers are invited to marvel at the timeless beauty and enduring legacy encapsulated within this stunning piece of carved jade jewelry from ancient China's Anyang period.
