The lion designs were first seen on bronze mirrors upon the introduction of Buddhism into China, and became very popular in the Tang period. See a mirror with similar central and rim designs in the Palace Museum, Beijing, illustrated in The Palace Museum's Collections of Bronze Mirrors, Beijing, 2008, pl. 33. Compare also to three examples with similar decorative theme but with more lions and mythical beasts in the Shanghai Museum, illustrated in Shanghai Bowuguan cang qingtong jing, Shanghai, 1987, pls. 83-85.
