This bronze mirror is in the shape of an eight-petal sunflower with a raised boss in the center. The relief image is of Bodhidharma crossing the sea. He wears a cross-collar long robe while holding a palm leaf hat, upon which there is an inscription. A dragon can be seen with its head out of the water and spraying mist.
