5.Ancient Sichuan:
Treasures from a Lost Civilization
Edited by Robert Bagley
This extraordinary catalogue accompanies a major traveling exhibition of 128 w
orks of bronze, jade, and clay dating from the thirteenth century B.C. to the
second century A.D. The majority of these stunningly sophisticated works of
art--among the most unusual and spectacular produced anywhere in the ancient
world--all come from a startling archaeological discovery made just fourteen
years ago at the previously unknown site of Sanxingdui in Sichuan province. Th
e discovery of this Bronze Age civilization fundamentally changes our understa
nding of Chinese history.
Representing fifteen hundred years of cultural production, these striking obje
cts are extraordinarily varied, ranging from a monumental standing figure and
an almost life-size bronze horse to ritual vessels, masks, and bronze heads of
fantastic-looking supernatural beings, finely honed jade knives and ritual bl
ades, and marvelous clay statuettes. Most have never before been seen in the U
nited States. The exhibition and catalogue represent a unique international ef
fort to continue the study of ancient Sichuan.
Under the leadership of Robert Bagley, an international team of scholars cont
ributes eight essays on the archaeological discoveries at Sanxingdui, the art
historical importance of these objects, and the new history of ancient China t
hey tell. Contributors are Michele Pirazzoli-t'Serstevens, Jessica Rawson, Lot
har von Falkenhausen, Alain Thote, Jenny F. So, Michael Nylan, and the Seattle
Art Museum's Curator of Chinese Art, Jay Xu. In addition to the essays, there
are individual entries for each object, nearly all of which have been newly p
hotographed for this publication.
Ancient Sichuan contributes to a revolutionary change in perceptions of ancien
t Chinese civilization, providing an unprecedented opportunity to explore the
art, material culture, and spiritual life of ancient China.
