Mirror Case

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image is of a Mirror Case by artist unknown. Two long tassels hang from a cord on the left side. The tassels are made of thin threads and have cylindrical metal caps at the top. A metal ring connects the tassels to a cord. The cord loops to the right and attaches to a round case. The case has a scalloped edge with a floral pattern and a circular rope design around the mirror. The mirror itself appears to be plain and circular.
