The case has a floral design around the edge and a central circular area that appears to be made of fabric. The case is dark-colored with light-colored designs. A thin cord extends from the top of the case on the right. The tassel on the left has long, thin strands of material and two cylindrical objects at the top. The tassel is attached to a thin wire that curves at the top. The background of the image is light-colored. The Mirror Case by an unknown artist.
