Mirror with Deities, Chariot, and the White Tiger

A dark bronze mirror with a raised central knob and concentric bands of triangular and dotted patterns. Within the field, a tiger, a horse-drawn chariot with a spoked wheel, and seated figures are cast in low relief.

Look closer: A small seated figure sits beneath the canopy-like form at the top, close to the rim.
