Two Khmer Bronze Mirrors, 13th - 15th Century
About the Item
Two small bronze mirrors from Cambodia, circa 13th-15th Century.
In Southeast Asia, The Khmer culture existed between the 9th and 15 centuries, originating in Cambodia and extending throughout Southeast Asia. Influenced by Buddhism and primitive nature religions, they produced a remarkable esthetic still admired today, and their bronze mirrors are an example of their superb metalwork skills.
Bronze mirrors are first-surface mirrors. The immediate bronze surface is flat and highly polished to be reflective, rather than modern second-surface glass mirrors, where the reflection comes from a backing applied to the glass.
After several centuries, these bronze mirrors are no longer useful for their primary purpose, but have developed a beautiful patina that gives them an additional aesthetic value.

Pair of Korean Goryeo Dynasty Bronze Pedestal Bowls, 13th-15th Century, Korea
Located in Austin, TX
An exquisite pair of Korean bronze pedestal offering bowls, Goryeo Dynasty, 13th-15th century, Korea.
The Goryeo bronze bowls of generous proportions, with high sides and an ever so slightly everted rim. The bowls are supported on a pedestal base with a tall stem and wide, splayed ring foot.
The bowls plain, save for a single engraved line circumscribing the splayed foot.
The bowls with an amazingly rich and complex patina of mottled reddish browns from cuprite and dark greens from malachite. The bronze heavily cleaned to the European taste, removing most of the encrustations. Some areas of the bowls with rougher areas where the accretions could not be removed.
Crafted in two parts in the spun bronze technique, then joined. The bowls are unusually thin for bronze, with the lathe lines still visible to the undersides.
