The figure of the male deity engraved with the keribori technique on this votive mirror has been hammered out near the center of a circular bronze plate in rather high relief. The deity wears a court robe and crown, and holds a baton of office before his chest covered by his sleeve. He sits facing straight forward on a pedestal. In the background stands a torii-shaped screen.
