A small bronze reflecting mirror from Cambodia, circa 13th-15th Century.
In Southeast Asia, The Khmer culture existed between the 9th and 15 centuries, originating in Cambodia and extending throughout Southeast Asia. Influenced by Buddhism and primitive nature religions, they produced a remarkable aesthetic still admired today, and their bronze mirrors are a surviving example of their superb metalwork skills.
Bronze mirrors are first-surface mirrors. The immediate surface is flat and highly polished to be reflective, rather than modern second-surface glass mirrors, where the reflection comes from a backing applied to glass.
