Mirror with Paulownia Tree

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a round, dark-colored mirror with a raised design. The mirror has a thick, raised edge around its circumference. The design on the mirror features a tree with a thick trunk and branches that curve upward to the right, adorned with leaves and flowers. A large, round, brown flower or object protrudes from the center of the tree. The background of the mirror is textured and dark gray, with a small section of Japanese characters on the left side. The mirror appears to be made of metal, possibly bronze or silver, and has a weathered appearance. The background behind the mirror is solid black, with a subtle gradient that lightens to dark gray at the bottom. The mirror is titled "Mirror with Paulownia Tree" and is attributed to an artist.
