This is a really beautiful Japanese, solid bronze hand held mirror with a great colour and patina dating from around 1890. The well decorated side has raised cast designs with many corded strung bags representing wealth and good fortune as well as calligraphic symbols and letters and three flaming pearls which were symbolic of spiritual energy, wisdom, good fortune, wealth, power and enlightenment.
The plain side would have been highly polished in the 1800s to use for reflection however it has been fitted with bronze wire now for hanging display purposes as this is such an aesthetically pleasing piece.
This is one of two very similar mirrors we currently have listed, this being the larger of the two.
This mirror measures 35 cms by 25 cms overall.
These will have been from a prosperous Japanese family and highly prized items.
