Amid the thousands of treasures in the Cincinnati Art Museum's East Asian art collection, a small bronze mirror dating back to the 15th or 16th century always seemed rather unremarkable.

 

Last exhibited in 2017, it had spent much of the preceding decades in storage, where it sat on a backroom shelf alongside other objects excluded from public display. But the artifact had a secret hiding in plain sight.

That's a silly question.

 

Its quite reasonable to ask if your post is on topic if there doesn't appear to be relevance.
