Abstract
Abstract The paper discusses the find of a Chinese mirror with T-shaped hieroglyphs, dated to the last third of the 5th–the first half of the 4th century BC and originating from a nomadic burial in the Southern Urals. This is not only the oldest find of a mirror of this type outside China, but also the most western find of a mirror of the Warring States Period in Eurasia. The chemical and technological characteristics of the mirror, studied with the help of scanning electron microscopy and metallography, demonstrate that they are close to the data given in the publications of mirrors from China and thus give no grounds for doubting the origin of the mirror.
