Abstract

The paper discusses the find of a Chinese mirror with T-shaped hieroglyphs, dated to the last third of the 5th–the first half of the 4th century BC and originating from a nomadic burial in the Southern Urals. This is not only the oldest find of a mirror of this type outside China, but also the most western find of a mirror of the Warring States Period in Eurasia. The chemical and technological characteristics of the mirror, studied with the help of scanning electron microscopy and metallography, demonstrate that they are close to the data given in the publications of mirrors from China and thus give no grounds for doubting the origin of the mirror.

在欧亚大陆发现的最西方的带有t形象形文字的中国镜子

本文讨论了一个带有T形象形文字的中国镜子的发现，其年代可追溯到公元前5世纪末三分之一至4世纪上半叶，起源于南乌拉尔的游牧墓葬。这不仅是中国以外发现的最古老的此类镜子，也是欧亚大陆发现的最西方的战国镜子。借助扫描电子显微镜和金相学研究了反射镜的化学和技术特征，表明它们与中国反射镜出版物中给出的数据接近，因此没有理由怀疑反射镜的起源。
