      Modern repro of an archaic bronze Jian (mirror).

      TLV mirror is a type of bronze mirror that was popular during the Han Dynasty in China. They are called TLV mirrors because symbols resembling the letters T, L, and V are engraved into them. They were produced from around the 2nd century BCE until the 2nd century CE. There are lots of repros out there however.

      Excellent example! This is a well-cast late Western Han / Xin period boshanlu-style mirror—great detail in the mountain patterns and a solid typology. The only flaw is a visible crack, which is common in excavated pieces but does affect its condition. If you’d like a full breakdown of dating, authenticity, or condition assessment, feel free to message me!

      well actually this is a mountain bo , whit the social antropocal daoisme meaning , how to QI
      take 4 or5 mountain peaks , also een representation of reaching PENGILA of the immortal,

      well you got aLIUBO thesis about this which is a square board game , IMO a bit farfether , it probably coincides with cosmopoligin belief

      and the circulvetntium makes you ,you fill good so theequilibrum of the outer QI because also the equilibrum of the inner QI

      the only way to be sure is to test is , but we probably don,t , the permeabiliteit reverse is ad remdem and in different to tonation and the agglutination is stacked, so if the want to fake they have to fake it for an awfull long

      obverse the crosshatching ( YAI YIN YINGXIAN DE ) looks wel

      sure the crack will cost, depends on the effort and skill a few honderd, this is worth
      there are different kind mould of the kinds of plates , i thought this was expensive kind of but i am not sure

      no trouble dating ,no trouble quality , frequentie quite high , value considerable ( substantial , but not important enough for an major imtortant

      this is mine opinion , but i am not a real major player in this , SO WHO THE
      F, uck

      you better stick to chinese bronze mirror , at least i worked mij A,, off , but i always do , no sweat

      correction not so expensive , depends also of the different kind of daoisme, value remains considerable
