The pattern of the "Baoxiang" flower and the round mirror is the center pattern, with a bat copper coin pattern inlaid in the middle on red glass, and green, blue and yellow glass inlaid around it. The "Baoxiang" flower pattern is a traditional auspicious decoration that has been popular with Buddhism around AD 220-589. It is an artistic combination of lotus, peony and chrysanthemum as the prototype; the combination of bats and copper coins has the auspicious meaning of "blessings are in front of you".
