Compare the mirror of this type with more simplified scroll reserved on a ground of larger coiled scrolls within a similar linked arc border illustrated by K. Karlgren, "Huai and Han," BMFEA, Stockholm, 1941, No. 13, pl. 73 (J 16), where it is dated 2nd century BC. It is illustrated again by Karlgren, "Early Chinese Mirrors: Classification Scheme Recapitulated," BMFEA, Stockholm, 1968, No. 40, pl. 97 (J 16).
