EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century image, titled "Dried Salmon" by an unknown artist, showcases the intricacies of handicraft and the rich cultural heritage of Asia. The photograph, now a part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's (LACMA) collection, offers a close-up view of a ray-finned fish, specifically a salmon, meticulously dried and hand-carved from ivory. The salmon's profile is depicted in a profile view, its mouth slightly open, revealing the intricate carvings that adorn its body. The ivory, with subtle staining, adds to the antique charm of the piece. The dried salmon, a common accessory or decorative item during the 19th century, was often used as a fashion statement, attached to clothing or dresses as a brooch or a dress fastener. This image transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship of the past. The dried salmon, with its intricate carvings and the use of ivory, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Asia, particularly Japan, during the 19th century. The unknown artist's mastery of the medium, combined with the unique subject matter, makes this a truly remarkable piece of heritage art.
