A SILVERY-BRONZE SQUARE MIRROR

SONG-JIN DYNASTY, 12TH–13TH CENTURY

One side is cast with a scholar playing the flute opposite a seated tiger holding a wine cup, with a gourd-shaped wine jar between them, all below a five-character inscription reading jie shi ming ru jing (the regional military governor is honorable and incorruptable). The reverse is plain and the silvery surface has areas of green encrustation. There are a few indecipherable characters later-carved on the left side of the flat border.

4 1/4 in. (10.8 cm.) square, cloth box
