EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the Liangzhu culture, dating back to 3300-2250 BC. Known as the Short tube (cong) of Lake Tai region, this jade piece is a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship of the Chinese School during the Neolithic Period. Measuring at 8.1x7.4x7.5 cm, this ancient treasure is housed in the prestigious Freer Gallery of Art at the Smithsonian Institution in the United States. It was generously gifted by Charles Lang Freer, highlighting its significance and value. The intricate design and delicate details carved into this jade conveys both artistic beauty and cultural symbolism. The smooth surface reflects light with an ethereal glow, while its unique shape suggests a deeper meaning within Liangzhu society. As we admire this antiquity through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are transported back thousands of years to a time when artistry flourished amidst primitive tools and materials. This photograph allows us to appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring fascination with history and our collective heritage. Let us marvel at this extraordinary artifact that has stood the test of time, preserving fragments from an ancient civilization that continue to captivate our imaginations today.
