The ancient mirror‘s decoration
I still remember how shocked I was when I saw the decorations of ancient mirrors from a book for the first time. Last weekend I took some time to enjoy the real ancient mirrors. They are more than 2000 years old. I feel curious about the animals in the picture. Their big mouths and strong legs implicate how fierce they are. Their tails are so interesting：It looks like many sharp weapons are on it.
The images of these animal are like the beasts in the game！
I also saw some powder compact boxes that day. I was full of envy because I used black plastic box while ancient women used so beautiful porcelain ones.

It's beautiful and very artistic.
Actually, Chinese ancient mirrors have much relation with Japanese ancient history. There are some such mirrors unearthed over west of Japan and supposed to be used by the leaders to show their authorities. Most of them are made by copper and are etimated to be brought from Wei Dynasty.
However, still found only one iron made mirror. It's called 金银错嵌朱龙纹铁镜 and made very intricate and exquisite. It's specified to be made about 1 - 3 century and estimated to be brought from Han Dynasty. And it's mystery why such valuable one was buried there.
This is URL of mirror.
