This print showcases a remarkable pendant in the form of a water buffalo, dating back to approximately 1100-1000 BC during the Shang Dynasty in China. Crafted from exquisite jade, this ancient artifact measures 2.7x4.4x1 cm and is currently housed at the eFreer Slacker Gallery as part of their esteemed collection. The intricate carving of this pendant highlights the exceptional craftsmanship of Chinese artists during that era. The attention to detail is evident in every curve and contour, capturing the essence and strength of a water buffalo with astonishing precision. Jade holds great significance in Chinese culture, symbolizing purity, wisdom, and protection. This precious stone was highly valued by ancient civilizations for its beauty and spiritual properties. Acquired as a generous gift from Arthur M. Sackler, this pendant carries immense historical value and offers us a glimpse into the artistic achievements of the Shang Dynasty.
