EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite ornament from the Song Dynasty in China, dating back to the years 960-1279. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this jade masterpiece takes the form of a foreigner, offering us a glimpse into ancient Chinese artistry and cultural exchange. Measuring at just 5.4x2.8x1.2 cm (2 1/8 x 1 1/8 x 1/2 in), this small yet significant artifact is housed in the prestigious Freer Gallery of Art at the Smithsonian Institution in the United States. The delicate carving and smooth texture of the jade highlight its exceptional craftsmanship. The figure depicted on this ornament represents a foreigner, possibly reflecting encounters between different cultures during that era. Its historical significance becomes even more intriguing when considering its provenance during World War II. Generously gifted by Arthur M. Sackler, this remarkable piece adds depth and richness to our understanding of Chinese history and artistic expression. It serves as a testament to human creativity transcending borders and time periods. Through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are able to appreciate every intricate detail of this extraordinary artwork - an emblematic symbol connecting past civilizations with present-day appreciation for beauty and heritage.
