Square Mirror with Two Phoenixes and Floral Sprays
A square bronze mirror seen from above, its central knob surrounded by concentric rings of petal-like arcs. Two phoenixes with sweeping tails curl through scrolling foliage, and flower sprays fill the four corners beneath a beaded border.
Look closer: A small flower spray is engraved in each corner, easy to overlook beside the central medallion.
