Inscription: On the day of wu, the first month, the first year of Yongkang, I made the bright mirror at the first of dawn by refining the yellow and the white [metals]. Great fortune and wealth will come as a result. May you live a long life. Up above are the King Father [of the East] and the Queen Mother of the West.
