The image is a photograph of an open book with Chinese text written on it. The text is written in black ink and is in Chinese characters. The title of the book is "Silk, Gold and Silver Wares, and Bronze Mirrors". Below the title, there is a subtitle that reads "Innovations in silk-weaving, printing, and dyeing resulted in new varieties in textile, Tang silk was famous for brilliant colours and novel designs. In metalwork, craftsmen influenced by Central and West Asian products began to manufacture gold and silver wares using techniques such as cutting, polishing, welding, riveting, gilding, and carving as well as hand-made machines. Imitative shapes and designs were gradually adapted to suit Chinese tastes. Bronze mirrors were another important handicraft representative of this period." The book appears to be old and worn, with some discoloration on the pages.
