目前的這面鏡子以金銀薄片華麗地平脫裝飾，飾有鳥、蝴蝶、雲彩與花卉。這類鏡子將金銀裝飾與漆地巧妙結合，再嵌於青銅鏡背，充分展現了唐代宮廷的奢華與華美品味。

與本例相似的鏡子很早就傳入日本，例如正倉院所藏的同類八稜鏡（八出花形鏡），其裝飾風格類似，可參見林良一（Ryoichi Hayashi）著《絲綢之路與正倉院》（The Silk Road and the Shoso-in），紐約/東京，1975年，第129頁，圖142。另外還可參考克利夫蘭美術館（Cleveland Museum of Art）收藏的一面八稜鏡，飾有花鳥紋樣，圖見J. C. Y. Watt 與 P. Harper 編《中國：黃金時代的黎明，200-750 AD》（China: Dawn of a Golden Age, 200-750 AD），紐約，2004年，第322頁，編號217。然而，這兩件藏品在裝飾的繁密程度上，皆不及目前這面鏡子密集華麗。

The present mirror is lavishly inlaid with gold and silver sheet with birds, butterflies, clouds and flowers. Mirrors of this type, with their rich combination of gold and silver decoration on a lacquer ground set into the back of the bronze mirror, reflect the splendor and sumptuous taste of the Tang court. Mirrors similar to the present example found their way to Japan at an early date, such as the similarly decorated eight-lobed mirror in the Shoso-in, illustrated by Ryochi Hayashi, The Silk Road and the Shoso-in, New York/Tokyo, 1975, p. 129, fig. 142. See, also, an eight-lobed example with flowers and birds in the Cleveland Museum of Art illustrated by J. C. Y. Watt and P. Harper in China: Dawn of a Golden Age, 200-750 AD, New York, 2004, p. 322, no. 217. Neither of these examples, however, is as densely decorated as the present example.
