Mirror, Parthian, 150 BC–200 CE. Copper alloy; 7.1 cm Diam, 0.8 cm Th; 46.8 g. ID: 0000.01.8162.

A copper-alloy mirror recovered from U-M excavations at Seleucia on the Tigris (Iraq). This was a locally produced imitation of a type of mirror typical of Han China (206 BCE to CE 220), some of which reached Mesopotamian and Mediterranean sites via the Silk Road. The University of Michigan Museum of Art has several authentic Han Chinese mirrors in its collection, such as objects [1961/2.69](https://umma.umich.edu/objects/mirror-dragon-and-tiger-type-1961-2-69/) and [1974/1.192](https://umma.umich.edu/objects/mirror-tlv-type-1974-1-192/).
