The first mirror is of a type similar to one dated to the Sui dynasty and illustrated by Ju-hsi Chou, Circles of Reflection: The Carter Collection of Chinese Bronze Mirrors, The Cleveland Museum of Art, 2000, p. 61, no. 49. See, also, p. 62, no. 50, for a mirror of the same type as the second mirror, but of smaller size, which is dated to the Tang dynasty.
