EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from ancient China, a Garment hook dating back to 300-200 BC. Crafted with exquisite skill and attention to detail, this bronze piece features intricate turquoise inlay and gilding, adding a touch of opulence to its already stunning design. Created by the Chinese School during the 4th-3rd century BC, this garment hook measures approximately 8.8x2.3x2.1 cm (3 7/16 x 7/8 x 13/16 in). Its delicate craftsmanship is a testament to the mastery of metalwork during that era. The symbolism behind this garment hook is deeply rooted in Chinese culture and history. The dragon motif represents power, strength, and good fortune - all highly valued attributes within Eastern Zhou Dynasty (770-221 BCE) society. With its provenance tracing back to the Western Han Dynasty (206 BCE - 9 CE), this artifact has witnessed centuries of history unfold before it. Its journey through time adds an extra layer of intrigue and mystique. Now housed at the Freer Sackler Gallery as part of Arthur M. Sackler's generous gift collection, this extraordinary piece continues to captivate viewers with its beauty and historical significance. Through this print captured by Bridgeman Images, we are granted a glimpse into ancient China's rich cultural heritage and artistic achievements in metalwork.
