EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable mirror from the Eastern Han Dynasty, dating back to 25-220 AD. The bronze mirror, measuring 13.9 cm in diameter, is an exquisite example of ancient Chinese metalwork and design. The mirror is divided into three sections, each featuring intricate depictions of deities and kings. These divine figures are surrounded by rings of squares and semicircles, forming a mesmerizing pattern that adds depth and complexity to the overall composition. The craftsmanship displayed in this hand mirror is truly awe-inspiring. Every detail has been meticulously engraved onto the bronze surface with great precision and skill. The motif of deities and kings reflects the spiritual beliefs and political hierarchy prevalent during the Eastern Han Dynasty. As we gaze upon this extraordinary artifact, we can't help but marvel at its timeless beauty. It serves as a testament to the artistic prowess of ancient Chinese artisans who seamlessly blended religious symbolism with aesthetic appeal. Now housed in the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA, this precious gift was generously donated by Drs. Thomas and Martha Carter in honor of Sherman E. Lee's contributions to art appreciation. This stunning piece not only offers us a glimpse into China's rich cultural heritage but also reminds us of our enduring fascination with history's masterpieces.
