| Large Japanese bronze “kagami” (mirror) with handle decorated on one side with seven auspicious symbols surrounding two impressed characters at the center which read "good fortune and longevity." There is an inscription on one side (see enlargement 3). The reverse side has a reflective surface. Long-handled kagami were often given as wedding gifts. 9 1/2" diameter x 13 1/2” long. Estimated to date from the Meiji period (19th century). Very good overall condition with a nice aged patina. This piece is from an old Tucson, Arizona estate. | |||||||||
