Description

這是一面五瓣形的銅鏡, 背面的紋飾設計分着两環,外環有五組不同的花卉紋. 內環鑄有精美的一對鳳鳥. 旁邊圉繞着複雜的卷草花卉紋, 生動漂亮.

這面鏡子保存完美,沒有任何腐蝕的痕跡, 而且包漿厚重油潤, 有明顯的歲月老化. 是一件難得的唐代傳世品.

它配有一個黑漆地木盒, 蓋上以蒔繪工藝繪畫了跟銅鏡上一模一樣的雙鳳紋飾, 估計是後期藏家為它而特別定製的.

It is a five lobbed bronze mirror. The decoration at the back is decorated in two sections. Its outer ring has five sets of different flowers. The central section has two phoenix birds, alternated with two groups of winding flowers. They are lively and exceptionally well executed.
This mirror is in almost perfect condition, without any external erosion, unlike the other excavated objects. It has a layer is natural patina, turning the bronze into shiny black. It is a good sample of precious objects passed down from generation to generation for decades.

It comes with a black lacquer box. On the top surface it was decorated with gold drawings of exactly the same pattern of the mirror itself, an obviously made to order match. It is clearly an indication of how the owner loved this mirror.
