Mirror

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A circular bronze Mirror by artist Lida Sun. The mirror has a dark patina with a thin copper-colored border around the edge. The mirror's face features a design with two birds facing each other at the top, a central motif that appears to be a flower or a star with rounded points, and three circular patterns below, arranged in a triangular formation. The circular patterns have a floral or geometric design. The background of the image is a plain gray color.
