EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the Han dynasty, specifically a tally in the form of a tiger. Created between 206 BCE and 220 CE, this bronze masterpiece embodies the artistic brilliance of ancient Chinese craftsmen. The unknown creator skillfully shaped the metal to depict an awe-inspiring feline figure with intricate details that bring it to life. Against a pristine white background, this close-up image allows us to appreciate every aspect of this historical treasure. The black color adds depth and intensity to the tiger's form, emphasizing its power and majesty. Its mesmerizing presence evokes both admiration and curiosity about its purpose during that era. Displayed at the Arthur M Sackler Gallery within the Smithsonian Institution, this artwork is not only visually stunning but also holds educational significance. As we delve into its symbolism and cultural context, we gain insights into ancient Chinese counting methods and their connection to animal imagery. The Freer Gallery of Art proudly houses this heritage art piece as part of its extensive collection dedicated to preserving humanity's rich artistic legacy. This photograph serves as a testament to our ongoing efforts in scientific institutions around the world to document and share these invaluable artifacts for future generations. Intriguingly mysterious due to its unknown origins, this tally in tiger form continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty and historical importance.
