“牦牛镜”与“藏式有柄镜”研究

"The Yak Mirror"and the Study of"Tibetan Handled Mirrors"

文章从近年面世的西藏“牦牛镜”入手,对拉萨“曲贡镜”等发现于雅鲁藏布江流域的4件有柄铜镜进行了综合分析,认为这些铜镜应为西藏本土早期青铜制品,其形制受“北方草原文化”影响,其冶铸工艺和镜、柄合体技法则与高原东部的“西南夷青铜技术系统”多有关联,它们与西藏西部象泉河流域出土的带柄铜镜有着不同的技术渊源和分布地域,是西藏“早期金属时代”具有地域意义的重要遗物。

Starting with the recent appearance of the"Yak Mirror"in Tibet,a comprehensive analysis was conducted on four handled copper mirrors found in the Yarlung Tsangpo River basin,including the"Qugong Mirror"in Lhasa.It is believed that these copper mirrors are early indigenous Tibetan bronze artifacts,influenced by the"Northern Grassland Culture"in terms of their design.Their metallurgical and casting techniques,as well as their mirror-and-handle assembly method,are closely related to the"Southwestern Aborigines Bronze Technology System"in the eastern plateau.They differ in technical origin and regional distribution from the handled copper mirrors unearthed in the Langchen River basin in western Tibet.These mirrors hold significant regional importance for Tibet's"Early Metal Age."
