Celestial Dragon Bronze Mirror

Offered by: PAGODA RED

Description
This antique Chinese mirror is cast of bronze in the Tang-dynasty style, with a lobed rim of eight flower petals, each filled with small cloud motifs. The front of the mirror is cast with a sinuous mythical dragon flying amid clouds. A round knob at the center takes the place of the dragon's flaming pearl, an emblem of the sun, of the moon, of balance, and of power. The back is flat and would have been highly polished and coated with mercury or silver for a reflective surface. // Depth: 4.0"
