This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the Qijia Culture, dating back to approximately 2500-2000 BC. The Forked chisel (zhang) is crafted out of exquisite jade, reflecting the incredible craftsmanship and artistic sensibilities of the Chinese School during the Neolithic Period. Measuring at an impressive 34x7.9x0.4 cm, this ancient tool holds both historical and cultural significance. Its intricate design and delicate details are a testament to the ingenuity and skill of its creators. Currently housed in the Freer Gallery of Art at the Smithsonian Institution in the USA, this Forked chisel was generously gifted by Charles Lang Freer himself. Its presence within such a prestigious institution allows visitors to appreciate its beauty up close while also gaining insight into China's rich archaeological heritage. The photograph captures every nuance and texture of this extraordinary implement made from stone, emphasizing its timeless appeal. It serves as a reminder that even after thousands of years, art continues to transcend time and connect us with our ancestors' creativity.
