Cruciform Mirror with Six Blossoms
A square bronze mirror with notched corners, its back cast with a circle of peony-like blossoms and scrolling tendrils around a central knob, ringed by a beaded border. Green patina covers the outer lobes, while the engraved floral design remains crisp across the central field.
Look closer: A fine beaded border ring encircles the central floral field.
