During the Sui Dynasty, many mirrors were produced with the usual four divine creatures, i.e., the Blue Dragon, White Tiger, Red Phoenix, and Black Tortoise, decorating the four corners. In addition, other lucky-animal patterns were used; the tiger, panther, lion, and wolf were favored motifs. The outer band was often decorated with a plant pattern, and many mirrors, such as this one, carry an inscription.
