A RARE AND LARGE BRONZE 'SIX MOUNTAIN' MIRROR
LATE WARRING STATES PERIOD, 4TH-3RD CENTURY BC
The mirror is crisply cast with a ribbed loop surrounded by a circular border and five feathers enclosed within the six-pointed star created by the connected inner edges of the six shan, ‘mountain’, characters, all reserved on a ground of swirl pattern, with thin upward-curved rim. The bronze has a silvery grey, lacquer-like patina with some malachite and azurite encrustations.
