Important Art Object Eight-Petal Formed Mirror with Suanni and Luan-Bird Design, Bronze China, Tang dynasty/ 8th century Taman Collection

The high-quality cast of this mirror can be seen in unstinting attention to fine details. This mirror is part of the 663-piece East Asian art collection that Kiyoomi Taman (1892–1979), a former member of the House of Representatives and lawyer in Osaka, assembled together with his wife Akeko.
