Cleveland Museum of Art

The central design features a spherical knob in the middle and three raised relief scenes. Two riders on horses are on the right side; one rider holds a staff. The rider on the left holds a staff and rides a dragon or a horse. The mirror's edge features eight raised, symmetrical floral motifs evenly spaced around the perimeter. Green patina spots are visible on the surface and along the edge. The mirror is set against a dark gray background with a slight shadow.
