Description
Copper mirrors are bronze castings with high tin content. In ancient times, the earliest Shang Dynasty saw the emergence of sacrificial vessels, which were generally enjoyed by kings and nobles during the Spring and Autumn Period, Warring States Period, and Qin Dynasty. By the end of the Western Han Dynasty, bronze mirrors gradually became popular among the people and became an indispensable tool for daily life. Copper mirrors are exquisitely crafted, with beautiful shapes, gorgeous patterns, and rich inscriptions, making them a treasure in the cultural heritage of ancient Chinese bronze art.
