A Han Dynasty style (206BC-220AD) bronze mirror of round form with deep well to rim surrounding four calligraphic marks in relief (possibly Qin, Lao, Se, and Kai - seeming to suggest association with a zither musical instrument) surrounding a central tondo cast with a serpentine dragon around a central loop for mounting.
