Mirror case with lunar scene
Round, flat, circular object with a black border featuring gold designs. The border surrounds a red background with a repeating diamond pattern. A large white moon is depicted in the upper center. Three people are present: one on the left, wearing white, and two on the right, with one wearing red and the other blue and white. The individuals on the right stand in front of a building with a tiled roof and red and gold vertical panels. The person on the left appears to be holding an object. Cloud-like designs in blue, green, and gold are throughout. The overall design suggests a scene related to the moon. The object appears to be a mirror case, by artist unknown, titled "Mirror case with lunar scene".
