DIA140mm, China
It would be hard to guess what is the black metal badge behind the dragon.
….
A bronze mirror! This mirror is unfortunately not polished, so you will not be able to turn it over to re-apply the lipstick after meal.
For the Chinese, the bronze mirror is a lovers’ keepsake, a token of love. The story goes back to the Southern and Northern dynasty; a couple was departed during the war, the husband saw the bronze mirror in half and each kept a piece as a keepsake. Years later, after a lot of hardship the two was able to find each other with the token mirror. And finally the circular mirror was completed again.
