EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the Qijia Culture, dating back to approximately 2500-2000 BC. The Harvesting knife (hu), crafted out of exquisite jade, is a testament to the advanced craftsmanship of the Neolithic Period in China. Measuring at an impressive 35.9x8.9x0.3 cm, this implement served as both a tool and a symbol of cultural significance. Its sleek design and smooth surface reflect the mastery with which it was created by ancient Chinese artisans. The Freer Gallery of Art, located within the prestigious Smithsonian Institution in the United States, proudly houses this extraordinary piece. It was generously gifted to the gallery by Charles Lang Freer, highlighting its historical importance and artistic value. As we admire this photograph, we are transported back thousands of years to an era where tools like these played an integral role in daily life. The harvesting knife (hu) represents not only practicality but also serves as a window into understanding the rich heritage and ingenuity of early Chinese civilizations. Through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are granted access to appreciate this invaluable artifact that has withstood the test of time. Let us marvel at its beauty and acknowledge its place in history as a tangible link between our modern world and ancient cultures long gone.
