An eight-lobed bronze mirror, dark gray with green patina, features a central rounded knob. Above it, a rectangular frame contains three panels of Chinese characters. Two robed figures in relief flank the knob: the left figure extends an arm, while the right holds a long object. At the base stands a small tree with spreading branches. This narrative scene is enclosed within the mirror's scalloped, raised edge.
