?Bronze mirror, also known as bronze mirror. The ancients used to learn from each other and hold water to reflect their appearance. After the invention of bronze ware, the bronze basin was flattened, and the bronze mirror came into being. The bronze mirror is of high artistic value because of its excellent casting, beautiful shape, gorgeous patterns and rich inscriptions. Its humanistic connotation has become a precious cultural heritage left to us by history.
The casting of bronze mirrors belongs to the bronze casting process, which is admired by the world. China is the top in the world, especially from the Warring States period to the Tang Dynasty, the casting process of bronze mirrors reached the acme, just like the top foreign works of art Venus and Mona Lisa.
This collection is a round bronze mirror with sea animal pattern. High relief technique is adopted in the decorative pattern, with knife marks and chisels, fine texture, concave convex and strong three-dimensional sense. The patterns are mainly concentrated in two circles of convex patterns. The rippling water waves occupy most of the space of the mirror, and the water and sky are connected. The theme patterns are mostly divided into two areas, which are composed of sea animals and water waves. The soft and long ripples are carved on the bronze mirror by the caster using high relief technique. They are not only realistic, vivid, decorative, but also beautiful It is the best witness of the collision of Chinese and foreign cultural exchanges.
Today, although the bronze mirror is more and more far away from our daily life, the rusty ancient bronze mirror is engraved with the traces of time. Although the former luster of the mirror has been lost, it can not reflect the face, but the personalized patterns and inscriptions on the back of the bronze mirror carry rich history and culture, witness history with its unique artistic charm, and have great collection and investment value.
