The first mirror is very similar to one illustrated by T. Nakano, Bronze Mirrors from Ancient China: Donald H. Graham Jr. Collection, 1994, pp. 258-9, no. 99.
The imagery on the second mirror is similar to that of two octafoil mirrors: one illustrated in Ancient Bronze Mirrors from the Shanghai Museum, Shanghai, 2005, pp. 224-25, no. 74, and the other, also illustrated by Ju-hsi Chou, Circles of Reflection: The Carter Collectino of Chinese Bronze Mirrors, The Cleveland Museum of Art, 2000, p. 75, no. 68. The motifs on these and the present mirror would have made them an appropriate wedding gift to be kept in a woman's boudoir.
