Description
The typical bronze Chinese mirror is round, with its flat, reflecting face polished to produce a reflection of near-glass clarity. The reverse is decorated in one way or another about a central loop or knob. This bronze mirror is undecorated with a concave rim and rounded edge that slightly slants outward.
