This ancient tomb of the Western Han Dynasty was discovered in Xixian New Area, Shaanxi. At present, more than 80 exquisite bronze mirrors of the Han Dynasty have been unearthed. These bronze mirrors are well preserved, and some of them have simple luster and clear patterns, which have extremely high historical and artistic value. These bronze mirrors are large and small, with a maximum diameter of 22 cm and a minimum diameter of about 7 cm. According to archaeologists' inference, large-diameter bronze mirrors should be placed for use, and small-diameter bronze mirrors should be portable. Some bronze mirrors are well preserved and still useful after repair, which shows that ancient craftsmen in China are also full of wisdom.
The cultural relics unearthed from tombs in the Western Han Dynasty include pottery, bronze, jade and iron, totaling more than 2,000 pieces.
