Mirror with Twin Carp

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Mirror with Twin Carp by an unknown artist shows a circular bronze mirror with a raised design on its surface. The design features two carp swimming in opposite directions amidst swirling waves. The carp are depicted in relief, with detailed scales and fins. The mirror has a thick, rounded edge and exhibits signs of aging, including a green patina around the rim and discoloration throughout. The background of the mirror is intricately textured with wave patterns.
