A fine Qing Dynasty hand mirror, the back exquisitely carved in cinnabar lacquer with a vivid landscape and figure scene, featuring pavilions, pine trees, and dignitaries in a classical garden setting. The intricate carving demonstrates superb control of depth and perspective, layered with rhythmic flow and traditional motifs. The handle is made of pale celadon jade, carved in the form of a dragon head at the top. The junction is adorned with gilded openwork bats and cloud patterns, symbolizing prosperity and auspiciousness. This piece integrates multiple classical crafts—carved lacquer, jade carving, and gilt metalwork—making it a rare and refined artifact suitable for both decorative and collectible purposes.
