Description

A mirror with a handle shaped as a figure of a naked woman. Her arms are lowered (the left one is partly lost), the right hand is turned forward by its bask. The left foot is slightly advanced. On the head there is a wig reaching the shoulders; the locks of natural hair are seen hanging along the cheeks. The wig is crowned by a lotus wreath and a large lotus flower being a base of the mirror disk. The woman wears a wide collar and a girdle with scallops. The figure stands on a thin rectangular base.
