Mirror

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a circular, bronze-colored mirror with a green patina. The mirror has a raised outer edge. The surface has a central indentation surrounded by four concentric circles of engraved designs. The designs appear to be a combination of geometric patterns and figures. The outermost circle contains a band of text written in a language that appears to be ancient. The patina is predominantly green with patches of orange and brown. The mirror is set against a plain gray background. The artist and title of the piece are "Mirror".
