About the Item
This extraordinary Zhou Dynasty hair pin, delicately carved from bone, is a captivating artifact that reflects the sophistication and artistry of ancient China. Adorned with a bird motif, this hair pin offers a glimpse into the symbolic significance birds held during the Zhou period, representing freedom, elegance, and spiritual connection to the heavens.
The bird design is intricately detailed, with gracefully elongated wings and flowing lines that convey movement and life. Hand-carved from bone, the material gives the pin an organic, earthy texture that enhances its antiquity and authenticity. Hairpins like this one were often used not just as functional tools but as symbols of status and beauty among the elite.
The Zhou Dynasty (1046–256 BCE) was known for its refined craftsmanship and spiritual symbolism, and this pin is an exquisite representation of that era's cultural depth. Ideal for collectors of ancient artifacts or anyone with an appreciation for Chinese history, this piece embodies both elegance and timeless beauty.
