Mirror Handle
The sculpture "Mirror Handle", by Unknown Artist, is a dark gray, ornate object. The object has a wide, curved top that tapers down to a narrower base. The top two curved sections are symmetrical and have a pointed tip. The entire surface is densely covered in intricate carvings, including curved lines, foliage-like patterns, and human-like figures. The base is circular and flat, with a small lip around the edge. The background of the image is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. A shadow is cast by the object onto the surface below it.
