EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from ancient China, known as the Garment hook (daigou). Dating back to the 5th-4th century BC during the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, this exquisite piece is crafted from gilt bronze and adorned with gold, silver, and turquoise inlay. Measuring at 20.1x1.3x3.7 cm, this small yet intricate garment hook carries immense historical significance. Its delicate design reflects the skilled craftsmanship of Chinese metalworkers during that era. The daigou served as an essential accessory for clothing fastening and was highly valued for its ornamental beauty. The meticulous attention to detail can be seen in every curve and embellishment on this stunning artifact. Housed in the eFreer Slacker Gallery, this particular Garment hook was generously gifted by Arthur M. Sackler to preserve its cultural heritage for future generations to appreciate. With its rich provenance tracing back centuries ago, it offers a glimpse into China's past and serves as a testament to their mastery of metalwork techniques. Through this print captured by Bridgeman Images, viewers are transported back in time to admire not only the artistic brilliance but also gain insight into ancient Chinese fashion customs and traditions.
