This ancient Chinese bronze mirror is a remarkable artifact of exceptional provenance and artistry. Crafted from a dark, patinated bronze, its back is richly decorated with a central knob, possibly representing the Earth, encircled by four meticulously sculpted, sinuous dragons. The dragons are framed by a band of repeating diamond-shaped geometric patterns and an outer border of stylized, fan-like motifs. The front of the mirror, now darkened with age, was once polished to a brilliant, reflective surface. Dating back to a period of great cultural and artistic flourishing in China, this piece offers a tangible connection to a bygone era. It is an exceptional collector's item, perfect for enthusiasts of Asian art, history, or ancient metallurgy. This is a unique opportunity to own a beautiful and rare piece of history.
