Notes
This nephrite jasper mirror is circular in shape, with the mirror on one side surrounded by a thin gold band and a ring of red stones filled with gold. On the back is a sun/light emitting design made up of a jade background, amber-colored engraved stone rays, and a large glass circle placed in the center with a pink plate underneath. There are two leaves-shaped protrusions placed on both sides, and there are green jasper flowers with orange stone centers.
