The decoration on this mirror of a pair of winged xiniu appears to be very rare.
The xiniu ('spirit-rhinoceros-unicorn') is a mythical animal, and is usually shown recumbent with head turned backwards as if to gaze up at the moon. On this mirror they are shown as a pair and prancing as they face each other, and may symbolize true love between the happy couple.
