Among the Three Regalia (sanshu no jingi) in Shinto ritual, Shinkyo Mirror is a revered object in which the chosen
deity resides. As shown here, this gilded silver on bronze Shinto mirror, framed in a traditional wood pedestal featuring
rolling clouds over turbulent wave. The carving is firm and delicate, and the bronze mirror appears to be free from
scratch and dent or defect of any kind; although the silver surface is somewhat tarnished due to its age, which can be
polish anew if preferred. This Shinto mirror is a rarely available treasure for a serious collector.
