Mirror with a Square Band, Four Nipples, and Grass Leaf Motifs

Cleveland Museum of Art

The object is a circular bronze mirror. The mirror has a central square motif with a green and gold knob in the center. The square is surrounded by a border of Chinese characters. Outside the square are four smaller knobs, one in each quadrant. The outer edge has a band of four nipples, and grass leaf motifs. The mirror has a green and gold patina, with visible signs of aging and wear. The background of the image fades from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. A white band is on the right side.
