Octafoil Mirror with Lunar Palace
A round bronze mirror with raised relief showing a tiled-roof pavilion at left and a tall pine at right. Small figures stand and kneel near a bridge above rippling waves, where a dragon-like creature curls along the lower edge.
Look closer: A small seated figure sits on the pavilion roof near the top edge of the relief.
