| Description |
A former privately-held item. This imitation mirror is known as heralding from the the last stages of production of these kinds of triangular-rimmed deity-and-beast mirrors. Fish, frogs, and arabesque patterns added to the ringed circle of beasts. There are similarly framed and similarly shaped mirror fragments among those that are said to have been uncovered at Okinoshima.
