The image shows a Mirror and Needlecase by an unknown artist. The object has a brown cord threaded through a small loop at the top. The cord has a white tag tied to it. Below the tag, a black rectangular object with a painted design is visible. The design features a white flower with green leaves and stems on a black background. The cord then passes through the object and a blue rectangular object below it. The cord continues down and has two tassels made of brown threads. The tassels are wrapped with brown thread at the top and have a small metal ring separating them from the blue object. The background of the image is light gray.
