Jin Dynasty (1115 – 1234 AD) This mirror is heavily cast in high relief with two carp swimming on top of a swell of waves. The large twisting bodies in an almost square configuration, fill the entire space surrounding the knob. There is a very naturalistic appearance to the twisting movement. The body surface are cast to resemble fish scales. The fish have prominent heads and large powerful fins along the ridge of the bodies and at the end of the tails. The waves of the sea are well depicted especially where they churn around the large central boss. There is heavy green patina, and on the front the silver is well preserved. The double carp design was one of the auspicious symbols in use from the Han dynasty onwards. Among these, the carp, thought to transform itself into a dragon, carried a particular congratulatory meaning. Dimensions: diameter: 19cms, Rim 0.5cms, weight 1070 grams References 1. See the similar mirror illustrated in the book Circles of Reflection by Ju-his Chou p89, no 86. Twin fish motif typical during the Jin dynasty, probably based on the same design on the Song dynasty mirrors. 2.
