This mirror is an example of a “beast-motif mirror,” in which mystic animals, such as a crouched dragon, decorate the inner band of concentric circles. At the same time, coiled dragons will often decorate the area around the central knob, and though some such dragons appear to have tiger-like heads, they are all generically called “coiled-dragon motifs.” Here, the outer band has a saw-tooth (zigzag) decoration, while arabesque patterns are seen along the rim.
