BRONZE METALLIC MIRRORS, HAN
DYNASTY
Han dynasty, 221—206 B.c., was commonly
struck by a bamboo stick, and used during
the performance of the ancient pantomime
to create a musical noise to enliven the
dance. It was a popular instrument dur-
ing the Han dynasty. One of the remark-
able and choice specimens is the strange
vase whose four sides are ornamented with
over one hundred rings, of the Sung dy-
nasty, 960-1126 a.d. An exceptionally fine
creation of the Chou dynasty, B.c., 1127-
247, remarkable for the profusion of its
ornamentation, is the vessel for carrying
wine, having handles of animal heads. All
these, notwithstanding their commanding
size, were executed in one and the same
cast, bottom, handles and decoration, a
wonderful feat in bronze casting, ranking
them among the greatest productions of
art ever created in metal.
One of the masterpieces of the collection
is a magnificent temple bell, of extraordi-
nary interest, both from its age, odd shape
and rich decorations, gold and silver being
lavished on parts of its surface. The prin-
cipal ornament is a conventionalized
dragon, with eyes inlaid with gold, and the
lines forming the body of silver wire. The
characters forming the inscription on both
sides are also of silver wire. Bells of this
pattern are the oldest of all inventions of
the Chinese. They were known long be-
fore historical recollection, and were among
the very earliest elements of Chinese cul-
ture, and are probably as old as the early
sacrificial vessels among the ancient bronze
works. The art of casting bells was in full
sway in China during the first millennium
B.c. One of the main differences of the
Chinese bell from those of European manu-
facture is the absence of a clapper. The
