The Shang Dynasty

"Traditional Chinese historians trace the origins of China deep into the mythological past.  However, until about 221 B.C., many smaller states, even in China's central regions, divided its territory.  The earliest traditional dynasty confirmed by archaeology is the Shang (ca. 1500 - 1050 B.C.), whose kings ruled from a series of royal capitals in the Yellow River valley, and vied for power and territory with the rulers of neighboring states."

 Images are currently not available for Shang Dynastic art.  Similar art may be seen from the Zhou dynasty which generally adopted Shang traditions (particularly in bronzeworking).
