EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from ancient China - a Ritual food serving vessel (jing gui) dating back to the Western Zhou dynasty in the 10th century BCE. The photograph, taken in close-up detail, allows us to appreciate the intricate craftsmanship and decorative artistry of this ceremonial piece. Made of bronze, this double-handled dish features an exquisite green coloration that adds to its allure. The patterned design on its surface is both mesmerizing and symbolic, representing the rich cultural heritage of China's Chou dynasty. With its opening mouth and carefully crafted shape, it served as a vessel for important rituals and ceremonies during that time. Displayed against a pristine white background, this image captures the essence of this historical object while highlighting its beauty and significance. It is housed within the prestigious Arthur M Sackler Gallery, part of the Smithsonian Institution's Freer Gallery of Art - an educational institution dedicated to preserving and showcasing scientific artifacts. As we gaze upon this extraordinary artifact captured by an unknown artist or photographer, we are transported back in time to witness a glimpse into ancient Chinese culture. This print serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with history and our desire to preserve these valuable relics for future generations.
