Lucky flowers with arabesque pattern and a pair of frolicking birds was a frequently used motif in Heian mirrors. Those from the Muromachi Period, however, are a little different and are more general as they carry images of contraposed birds in the space above the mirror’s central knob.The band along this mirror’s edge shows the revival of Han Dynasty mirrors, placing it among the generically called “pseudo-Han mirrors,” one of the characteristic styles of the Muromachi Period.
