Mirror Case

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photograph of an ornate Mirror Case by artist unknown. The object has a long, thin cord with a curved end on the left. The cord is attached to a circular object with a scalloped edge. The circular object has an intricate design around its edge, featuring a geometric pattern and leaves. In the center of the circular object is a round mirror, which appears to be empty. Above the circular object is a large tassel made of many thin threads. The tassel is attached to two small metal bands. The background of the image is plain white.
