Mirror with Pair of Birds in Landscape

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a round bronze mirror with a pair of birds in a landscape design. The mirror has a raised edge with small bumps around the perimeter. Inside the raised edge is a ridged band. Further in is a band of small spheres. In the center is an embossed design featuring a landscape with two birds. One bird is on the left and one bird is on the right, with a tree in the middle. The tree appears to have no leaves and resembles a bunch of sticks. The mirror appears to have a dark green patina. The background behind the mirror is black at the top and fades to gray at the bottom.
