A CHINESE ‘STAR CLUSTER’ MIRROR, HAN DYNASTY, 1ST CENTURY B.C.
The silvered bronze mirror has been recovered from burial and is encrusted with cuprite, malachite and azurite deposits. There are areas, especially on the gently curved plain side, where the original silvering still shows brightly. The central boss consisting of a single nipple, or star, within a ring of stars is surrounded by four further groups of stars linked by fine linear arabesques. 4.1/16 inches ( 10.4 cm ) diameter. Fine condition with no restoration. I am based in the United Kingdom so charges made to credit cards are in GBP ( British Pounds ) and your credit card issuer converts the charge to your own currency, that is, the currency of your country. Payment may also be made by direct bank transfer in GBP, or in cash, GBP or US$. International Money Orders or Cashiers’ Checks in GBP are also accepted. |
