Dark gray stone sculpture titled "Mirror Handle" by unknown artist. A man sits on a chair with his left elbow on his knee and his chin on his hand, looking down. He wears a long tunic. His right arm hangs down between his legs, holding what appears to be a long, thin, flat object. The sculpture sits atop a white block. The background is light grey.
