A thousand years ago in China, mirrors were made of bronze and they were more ornate than the modern ones.

Three bronze mirrors from the collection of the Henan Museum offer a glimpse into people’s lives between the 10th and 14th centuries. The ancient mirrors have diverse shapes and decorative patterns.
