EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable bronze dagger from Northwest China, dating back to the 7th-6th century BC. Measuring at a length of 27.3 cm, this ancient weapon is an exquisite example of Chinese craftsmanship and artistry. The dagger features a tapering double-edged blade with raised median ribs on each side. Its guard is cast as a mask flanked by spirals, adding an intriguing decorative element to the piece. The hollow hilt, cast in relief on both sides, displays a stacked column of dragon heads with rolled snouts and curled crests that project along the edges. Atop the hilt sits a larger mask adorned with coiled snout, ruyi-shaped ears, and curled crest. This prominent mask also bears slits on its edge for added visual interest. All of these intricately designed heads have circular eyes hollowed out for potential inlay work. With its ornate decoration and meticulous attention to detail, this dagger represents not only an ancient weapon but also serves as evidence of the rich artistic heritage found in East Asia. Preserved within private collection today, it stands as a testament to the skillful metalwork produced during this period in Chinese history. Captured beautifully by Bridgeman Images' photographer eChristies Images, this print allows us to appreciate and admire the beauty and historical significance of this extraordinary artifact from centuries past.
