Collection Description: The Tang Dynasty bronze mirror was the third peak in the history of ancient Chinese bronze mirrors. The appearance of the sea beast grape mirror at this time reflects this peak period, the heyday of the development of bronze mirror casting techniques. The appearance of the sea beast grape mirror is a concrete practice of high relief art in a creative art form using copper mirrors as carriers. The beauty it brings to people is groundbreaking. The shape of the auspicious beast grape is a very popular copper mirror decoration in the mid Tang Dynasty, and this elaborate and colorful decorative style fully reflects the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and the integration of multiple ethnic cultures.

Collection specification: W: 26.5cm
Starting price: SGD 500000
Transaction price: SGD 550000 (equivalent to RMB 2.96 million)
Collection Description: A hemispherical button with a round button seat, surrounded by a raised pearl pattern. The main decorative area is divided into four zones based on the layout of four tall hemispherical milk nails. The four milk nails are embraced or carried by the four high relief auspicious beasts. The auspicious beasts have a tall and burly body, with four limbs landing on the ground, strong and powerful, with sharp corners and round eyes, wide mouth, protruding fangs, and painted hair on the head. The two horns on the head are for warding off evil, the one with a single horn is Tianlu, the one with painted horns is lion, and the most realistic one is the white tiger in the lower left corner: two ears, a bulging nose, and round eyes. The four beasts have a huge body. Big, with a strong physique and diverse forms. Upon closer inspection and taste, the four divine beasts, no matter how round their eyes are or how big their mouths are, always exude a sense of auspiciousness and harmony in their pretentious and fierce gazes and corners of their mouths. The powerful and fierce divine beasts can actually depict intimate and peaceful emotions, which is the artistic charm of the Eastern Han Divine Beast Mirror.
