Warring States, Chinese Bronze mirror: Three Shan
Chinese Bronze mirror: Three T Shan, Warring States, 480-221 BC. Diameter: 5 inches = 126 mm. Weight: 7 oz. = 200 g. Rim: concave, with sharp edge. Side: slightly inclined inwards. Knob is very small, hole is blocked by oxidized metal; Round circle around knob, which is rare, usually a square. Mirror surface: flat. Inner section: 3 T Shan, against finely patterned ground (feather pattern) Metal: white bronze, nice patina. Mirrors with 4 or 5 Shan shapes as the main motif are one of the representative types of Warring States period. It is not clear, however, what the Shan shape signifies. One suggestion is that it is an early form of the T-shape, found on TLV mirrors and the liubo gaming board, but to date there is no proof of this.
Condition Some oxidation, patina and rust, which is normal for this age.
Low Estimate: 800;
High Estimate: 3000;
