EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient Chinese art - a Rabbit-form pendant from the late Shang-early Western Zhou dynasty, dating back to the 12th-11th century BC. Crafted from jade and measuring 4.5 cm in length, this pendant depicts a crouched rabbit with intricate details carved into its form. The skilled craftsmanship is evident in the finely delineated features of the rabbit, which are accentuated by delicate grooved lines on both sides. The semi-translucent greenish-yellow jade adds an ethereal quality to this exquisite piece, although it also bears small areas of buff alteration. With a small suspension hole between its fore legs, this pendant was likely worn as jewelry or adornment during ancient times. Its significance lies not only in its aesthetic beauty but also in its cultural and historical value as an artifact from the Shang and Western Zhou dynasties. Preserved within a private collection today, this photograph allows us to appreciate the mastery of Chinese artisans who created such treasures centuries ago. It serves as a testament to their artistic prowess and offers us glimpses into East Asian history and culture through their intricate carvings. Bridgeman Images has captured every detail of this extraordinary rabbit pendant for our admiration and study, reminding us of the enduring legacy left behind by ancient civilizations like China's Shang and Western Zhou dynasties.
