Mirror with Bodhi Tree
KOREA; Goryeo dynasty (918–1392); Bronze; Diameter: 26 cm; National Museum of Korea, Seoul, South Korea
The stud at the center of this simple bronze mirror is surrounded by a luxuriant Bodhi tree with prominent roots, whose leaves are falling to the ground. The central image is enclosed by two concentric rings: the inner ring has a wavy line with depictions of leaves, while the outer ring is unadorned. |
