This type of mirror is known as baoxianghua (flowers of precious appearance). A similar mirror of slightly smaller size (16.5 cm. diam.) is illustrated in Ancient Bronze Mirrors in the Shanghai Museum, Shanghai, 2005, pp. 218-19, no. 71, where it is mentioned that similar mirrors were excavated around Kaifeng, Henan province, in the 1930s. Another similar mirror of slightly smaller size (6 9/16 in.) from the Robert H. Ellsworth Collection was sold at Christies New York, 22 March 2012, lot 1439. The flower medallions on these types of mirrors are discussed by J. Rawson and E. Bunker in Ancient Chinese and Ordos Bronzes, Oriental Ceramic Society, Hong Kong, pp. 258-59, no. 178, where they note that the flower medallions are related to Sui and Tang textile designs as well as to "canopy patterns developed for ornamenting Buddhist caves, such as those at Dunhuang in Gansu province."
