EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Rabbit-form pendant from the late Shang-early Western Zhou dynasty, dating back to the 12th-11th century BC. Crafted with exquisite skill and precision, this jade pendant measures 4.5 cm in length and is part of a private collection. The thick pendant depicts a crouched rabbit, its features delicately delineated by thin grooved lines on both sides. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every curve and contour of this stunning piece. A small suspension hole can be seen between the fore legs, adding an element of functionality to its aesthetic appeal. Made from semi-translucent greenish-yellow jade, this ancient artifact exhibits small areas of buff alteration over time, further enhancing its historical significance. The use of jade as a medium for creating intricate carvings was highly valued during the Shang dynasty and continued into the Western Zhou dynasty. This photograph captures not only the beauty but also the cultural importance of this rabbit-form pendant. It serves as a testament to the artistic achievements and craftsmanship that flourished in ancient China. This extraordinary piece exemplifies how art transcends time and continues to captivate viewers even after centuries have passed.
