Mirror with Six Circular Flowers, 7th century , Tang dynasty 

Mirror with Six Circular Flowers, 7th century , Tang dynasty (618-907). Bronze. Diameter: 16.6 cm; Overall: 1.5 cm; Rim: 0.9 cm. Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Gift of Drs. Thomas and Martha Carter in Honor of Sherman E. Lee 1995.341.

 

Around the mirror’s central knob, there are six floral designs set within circles, separated by candelabra-like dividers. These flower designs later became known as "baoxiang hua 寶相花" or "flowers of precious appearance", which often remind people of Buddhist connections. The design also includes a ribbon of inscription, praising the mirror’s clarity and celebrating the end of a war.
