Mirror with Four Running Animals

The Mirror with Four Running Animals by unknown artist depicts a round, dark-colored, possibly bronze or metal, mirror with a raised design. The mirror has a wide outer rim with a rope-like pattern and Chinese characters. Inside the outer rim, there is a narrower rim with a bead-like pattern. The center of the mirror features four animals running around a central sphere. The four animals appear to be mythical or real, possibly a dragon, a phoenix, a tiger, and a horse, but exact identification is unclear. The animals have detailed features such as scales, fur, and wings. The background of the image is a plain gray color.
