EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the 13th-14th century, known as the "Mirror with molded cyclical date". Created by the Korean School, this bronze mirror is believed to have been crafted in either 1287 or 1347. The mirror's intricate design and craftsmanship are truly awe-inspiring. Its circular shape is adorned with delicate patterns and motifs that reflect the artistic style of the Goryeo period (918-1392) in Korea. The smooth surface of the mirror reflects light beautifully, adding an ethereal quality to its appearance. What makes this piece even more intriguing is its cyclical date moldings. These markings suggest that this mirror was not only a functional object but also served as a timekeeping device during ancient times. It provides us with a glimpse into how people in medieval Korea measured time and organized their daily lives. Now housed at the Freer Gallery of Art, Smithsonian Institution in the United States, this exquisite bronze mirror continues to captivate viewers with its historical significance and aesthetic beauty. Thanks to generous contributions like Charles Lang Freer's gift, we can appreciate and study these precious artifacts from different cultures around the world. Through this photo print, we are reminded of our shared human history and how art has always played a vital role in preserving our past for future generations to admire and learn from.
