Revamp your decor with the enchanting handmade artistry of this decorative Chinese mirror.
In ancient China, before the invention of modern mirrors, bronze hand mirrors with beautifully decorated backs were used in daily dressing and grooming rituals. A bronze mirror has two sides, a reflective side and a decorative back side. Dating back 4000 years, these intricate mirror-back designs reveal distinctive ancient artistry and a significant cultural heritage.
The Eight Trigrams design (contained within an octagonal shape) from the I-Ching reveals the intertwined Yin and Yang energy in the Universe with eight simple symbols representing: Heaven and earth, fire and water, thunder and wind, mountain and marsh.
The intriguing decorative side of the bronze mirrors are reproduced in resin, protected beneath glass, and set into a 16.5 x 16.5 inch resin frame (depth 1.25 ). It arrives with good wishes for health, happiness, and long life.
