Pendant China
Eastern Zhou period (770-221 BCE)
Richard Gien

As the name suggests, Richard Gien’s September exhibition “The Portable Objects” includes small items that could be easily carried along when travelling. They include Neolithic animal-shaped pendants from China and a Vietnamese Champa stone lingam pendant with solid gold. Highlighted is an Eastern Zhou period pendent in the shape of a praying mantis (length 7 cm). (13-26 September, 43 East 10th Street, 3A)
