EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from ancient China, specifically the Western Zhou period in the 11th and 10th century B. C. The Plaque with Dragon Design, created by an unknown artist during this time, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the region. The plaque's intricate design features a mythical dragon, one of China's most iconic mythological creatures. With its vibrant colors and decorative stone material, it exudes elegance and craftsmanship that has stood the test of time. This piece represents not only the artistic prowess of its creator but also provides insight into the cultural significance of dragons in Chinese mythology. Displayed at an art gallery or institute such as the Art Institute Chicago, this artwork serves as a window into ancient Chinese history and aesthetics. Its jade composition adds to its allure, symbolizing purity and prestige in Chinese culture.
