In its rim, there are two layers of sawtooth pattern, one of them are double-lined. Its inner section has a diagonally hachured band, some TLV pattern, 4 nipples and 8 animals on it, which by guessing, there is a rat, a panther, a tiger, a pair of phoenix, a turtle and an unknown animal. Most of these creatures have positive symbols. For example, the turtle symbolizes longevity, while phoenix means flourishing. These two creatures are the divine beast, which ancient Chinese worship and believe they could protect their land. There are zodiac animals such as rat and tiger. In its centre, there is a double-lined square, 4 petals and a round knob, making the shape of a flower. This mirror is well-preserved with only a few flaws. The bronze did not get oxidized much. Most of its pattern is clearly shown. There are some flaws on its rim and a little part is scratched out in its centre which has oxidized to a brighter yellow. The mirror side is glossy and smooth.
