About the Item
Antique traditional Oriental bronze Japanese Kagami handled Mirror.
An exceptional and stunning Japanese bronze handled mirror called Kagami.
Large and heavy bronze handle mirror polished to one side with the other side moulded in relief.
The mirror is of a design typical of the sixteenth century incorporating a pair of Cranes, sotsuru, conjoined at the beak with a tortoise kame-gata form central pierced boss in a “Y” shaped formation In addition there is a set of three stylised flowers, karahana mon. With Ashai, water reeds, and a pair of Pines, growing from a sandy wave washed beach, suhama, vestigial elements of earlier Horai-zu patterns of the Muromachi period.
