One fall of snow, and the old palace becomes the Forbidden City of memory. Snow drifts thick over the red walls and gilded eaves, and a palace cat picks its way along a rooftop, come to find the plum blossom that opens in the cold. This mirror sets that quiet winter scene in raised relief, the cat among plum branches and roof-ridge beasts beneath a falling snow, so that a fair face at the mirror might recall the dream of a snowbound palace year.
Key Features
A palace cat (宫猫), the beloved wanderer of the Forbidden City, perched on a snowy rooftop among plum blossom (梅花), the flower that opens in the depth of winter

Worked in raised three-dimensional relief with high-definition UV printing, on a deep palace-red ground
A snowflake border set with small pearl accents, cut to a scalloped shape
Finished with a gradient tassel

A Note on Authenticity
Lower-priced copies of these mirrors circulate widely in the market. They can resemble ours in a photograph, yet they differ in the materials used, the quality of the enamel and plating, and the care taken in their finishing. Every Tang Heritage mirror is a genuine article, sourced and finished to the standard we stand behind, and its quality shows in the hand. We ask that you purchase only from Tang Heritage or our authorised channels, and that you exercise caution with listings priced well below ours, as they are unlikely to be the same piece.
Care
Keep away from hard or sharp objects to protect the surface design. Wipe the mirror gently with a soft, dry cloth. Store in its case or box when not in use.
