Cleveland Museum of Art

The image displays a dark-colored, circular object with an intricate design. The object is likely made of metal, possibly bronze or copper, and has a raised edge around its circumference. The object depicts a scene with a building on the left side, featuring a tiled roof and a decorative facade. A large tree is visible on the right side of the object. In the foreground, there are several figures, including one standing on what appears to be a bridge or a log over water, accompanied by two other individuals. The background of the object shows a gradient of clouds or waves. The object titled "Octafoil Mirror with Lunar Palace" by an unknown artist, appears to be an ancient Chinese mirror, given its design and style.
