Inside this border, the top section presents two humanoid figures with elongated heads facing each other, surrounded by Chinese characters. The middle section depicts curved lines and a row of animal-like figures. The bottom section features a dense arrangement of figures and designs. At the center of the mirror is a raised knob.
