Inlay for a Mirror or Box: Lady on a Bird

Cleveland Museum of Art

The metal plaque depicts a woman sitting on a bird. The woman's hair is short and styled up. She wears a dress with a belt around her waist. A ribbon-like object loops from her head and attaches to the bird's beak. The bird has its wings outstretched and appears to be flying. The bird's tail feathers are long and patterned. The plaque has a silver color with some darker spots, possibly due to aging or damage. The background of the image is a gradient from dark gray to light gray.
