Although dragon motifs were used in China as designs for bronze mirrors in every period, finely detailed figures of paired dragons began to appear in the Liao dynasty (907-1125). Mirrors of exactly the same pattern and form are known from the Jin dynasty (1115-1234) of northeastern China and from the Koryo dynasty (918-1392) of the Korean Peninsula. All are made of bronze that includes a fair amount of nickel, and it seems most probable that they were produced in large quantity in the same workshop within a short period of time.
