From the museum
The predominant motifs on this mirror, the lion and the grapevine, were both foreign to China. The popularity of this mirror type, which lasted until the fall of the Tang dynasty, demonstrates the cosmopolitan tastes of wealthy Chinese during this extremely prosperous and artistically vigorous period.
