Mirror with Six Circular Flowers

A round bronze mirror with a silvery, corroded surface, its central knob surrounded by six raised circular flower medallions. Characters are cast in bands around the rim, and the outer edge is finely ridged and patterned.

Look closer: Reddish mineral streaks lie beside the central knob, where the bronze has corroded.
