Mirror with Xiwangmu
A round bronze mirror with a raised central knob, surrounded by concentric bands of relief. Seated figures, animals and cloud-like scrolls fill the inner field, framed by geometric patterns and a decorated outer rim, photographed against a dark background.
Look closer: Small dragon-like creatures wind along the outer rim.
