Mirror with Wheel Spokes and Riding Boys

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a circular, bronze mirror with a raised design. The mirror has a raised outer edge and a central motif resembling a sun or wheel with radiating spokes. Surrounding the center are several small, raised figures of boys riding what appear to be hobbyhorses or similar objects. The surface of the mirror features a mix of raised and recessed areas, giving it a textured appearance. The mirror's patina is predominantly greenish-brown. Along the edge of the mirror, there are raised dots and other patterns. In the top right quadrant, there is a square seal or stamp with Chinese characters. The background of the image is a plain gray surface. The title of the piece is "Mirror with Wheel Spokes and Riding Boys".
