| Description |
In mirrors with designs of layered arcs, generally speaking, the cloud-like rings are placed on the outside of the floral rings, but this mirror has the cloud-like rings on the inside, which makes this a layered arc mirror that differs from the standard designs. The center button position is circled with five arcs with tooth comb pattern on the interior, and spaces between the floral rings or five arcs are fillded with concentric arcs.
