About
Inscription: I made this bright mirror By refining the three metals. BoYa is making music; The multitude of gods display their forms. [The mirror] is suitable for a man with great wealth and good fortune. He [who has it] will add years to life. His descendants will also prosper. Even this master will enjoy longevity.
