A woman who insisted her ancient bronze mirror did not contain a pornographic image was taken away by police after she tried to sell it.

As she showed off the mirror, which has four pairs of lovers on it, at a stand in a market in Beijing on Mar 12, police took her to the station where they accused of her selling pornography.

She filed a lawsuit against the police on Saturday and asked the court to throw out her case because the mirror is an ancient piece of art.

Judges have not issued a ruling.
