EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning Bird-form finial, crafted between the years 500 and 1500 by Zen culture. Made of gold, this intricate artifact measures approximately 9.7x6.5x10.8 cm and is currently housed in the Dallas Museum of Art in Texas, USA. The Nora and John Wise Collection generously gifted this piece to the museum, with contributions from Mr. and Mrs. Jake L. Hamon, the Eugene McDermott Family, Mr. and Mrs. Algur H. Meadows, the Meadows Foundation Incorporated, as well as Mr. and Mrs. John D Murchison. Originating from South America's pre-Columbian era, this metallic bird form exemplifies exceptional craftsmanship and artistic expression prevalent during that time period. The finial serves both decorative and ornamental purposes with its golden hue adding an air of opulence to any space it adorns. This artifact represents a significant part of South American history while also showcasing the mastery of metalwork prevalent in ancient cultures. Its detailed design captures the essence of avian beauty through its meticulously crafted feathers and intricate features. As we gaze upon this remarkable work of art captured by Bridgeman Images' lens, we are transported back in time to appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also its cultural significance within our global heritage.
