Ca. 700 AD. Tang Dynasty. Circular bronze mirror with intricate flower relief which comprises a raised suspension loop surrounded by three concentric decorative registers including (from the centre outwards): a field of dots, wavy lines and petals. The Tang dynasty ruled most of China between AD 618 and 907, and this period is widely viewed as an era of progress and stability, during which many scientific and artistic advances were made. This beautiful mirror may have belonged to a noble lady who lived under the Tang. Excellent condition. Size: H:125mm / W:125mm ; 325g. Provenance: From an important London collection of S.A.; previously in a Central London, Mayfair gallery; originally obtained from an old British collection formed in the 1970s.
