EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Chinese bronze mirror from the 2nd century, featuring intricate figures of the Taoist gods. From the esteemed collection of the British Museum, this circular masterpiece is a testament to ancient craftsmanship and religious devotion. The ornate design and decorative details on both sides of the mirror reflect its significance as an object of reverence. Against a striking black background, this studio shot captures every delicate curve and symbol etched onto its surface. The image transports us into the realm of Taoism, one of China's most profound religions. Each figure represents a deity or goddess associated with this spiritual tradition. The mirror's reflective properties not only serve practical purposes but also hold symbolic meaning within Taoism. It embodies concepts such as self-reflection and introspection, inviting individuals to contemplate their inner selves while gazing upon it. Photographed by CM Dixon (not affiliated with any company), this print preserves every nuance and detail for generations to appreciate. Whether you are drawn to Chinese history, religious iconography, or simply admire exquisite artistry, this photograph offers a glimpse into an ancient world filled with faith and beauty.
