<p>[QUOTE="hunt2, post: 9862395, member: 85118"]I have bought this chinese bronze mirror hoping it was old. But i can´t get a date on it because no one seems to know the date of these mirrors. I do know they made them in de Tang and Ming and Qing period. It is a Whopper of 37 cm wide and 6 kilo heavy and it does function as a mirror because i can see myself in it at the part that is still shiny.</p><p><br /></p><p>It has a concave polished front side and the back is decorated. It is the so called 5 sons mirror witch can be read from the chinese caracters with the meaning that Dou Yujun had five sons who all passed the state examination and attained high positions at court. If anyone knows the age of the mirror i would love to hear it.[ATTACH=full]494490[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]494491[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]494492[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
