EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from ancient China, known as the "Garment hook". Created between the 2nd century BC and 2nd century CE, this bronze masterpiece is a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship of the Chinese School during that era. Measuring at an impressive 11.8x3.7x2 cm, this garment hook features intricate details and symbolism. The bronze hook depicts a mesmerizing scene of a monstrous serpent coiling around itself in an elegant manner. The snake's sinuous body wraps around the hook, creating a functional yet visually stunning piece of art. This creature represents power, wisdom, and protection in Chinese culture. With its WWI-era provenance adding historical significance to its allure, this metalwork treasure transports us back in time to witness the artistic brilliance of ancient China's Han Dynasty (206 BCE-220 CE). The delicate casting technique used to create this garment hook demonstrates exceptional skill and precision. Captivating both nature enthusiasts and art connoisseurs alike, this print allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the cultural significance behind such artifacts. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' collaboration with Fine Art Finder, we can now enjoy these masterpieces from renowned galleries like Freer Sackler Gallery through their high-quality prints.
