Research and responses

This object was examined by Dr Lukas Nikel as part of the Fell funded project Characterizing the World Archaeology Collections. He advised that although one of the mirrors (1905.83.8) was of the Tang Dynasty, the other three mirrors donated by Turley were more recent in date. [AS 25/08/2010]
