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. No wonder the designs have endured as an art form.

These wonderful mirror-back designs incorporate more than beauty and simple decoration, however, as each exotic pattern contains deeper meaning. This good fortune and longevity design features two lucky birds depicted inside a scalloped edged design reminiscent of a flower, soaring among graceful vines.

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 1.5 in.). It arrives with good wishes for health, happiness, and long life.
