Mirror Case

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white photo of a "Mirror Case" by unknown artist. The case is circular with a scalloped edge and a black center, surrounded by a patterned border with a repeating design in shades of black and white. A long cord made of thin material extends from the top, with a knot near the top right. A long tassel hangs from the cord on the right side, made of many thin strands of material. The background is a plain light gray color.
