Mirror itself is bronze and on one side has the phoenix, the protector of the dharma (truth) in raised relief. Signed by Sawamori. The mirror has a bronze crown of flames. Some pieces of the flame are missing. The bottom of the mirror that fits into the stand has a broken piece that can't be seen. Ask for shipping quote. H:44cm x W:34cm
