Eternal Offerings: Chinese Ritual Bronzes

Saturday, Feb. 29, 2020 – Sunday, Nov. 29, 2020

50.46.116 (1)

Exploring the ritual significance of ancient Chinese bronzes, this exhibition sheds new light on innovations of form and ornamentation, and the advanced techniques of casting of these stunning objects dating from the Shang to the Han Dynasties (1600 BCE to 220 CE). Bronze designs influenced other art forms in China, and later examples in jade, blue and white ceramics, and cloisonné will also be featured.
