Lobed Mirror of Three Delights

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a Lobed Mirror of Three Delights by Unknown Artist. The object is a silver-colored, circular mirror with a scalloped edge. The mirror's surface features a raised design, including two human figures on either side of a large sphere. The figures wear long robes; the figure on the left appears to hold an object in their right hand while their left hand is positioned near their side. The figure on the right holds what appears to be a weapon or tool in their right hand and an object in their left hand. Below the sphere is a plant-like design with a thick base and several tendrils extending upwards. Above the figures, there is a square panel containing Chinese characters. The mirror has a weathered appearance with visible signs of aging and wear. The background of the image is a plain gray surface, with a shadow cast by the mirror to the right.
