Bronze mirror stand
The combination and placement of elements in such elaborate classical mirrors produce an architectural effect. The woman stands on a base with three bovine feet. Above her hover two erotes. Foxes and hares course around the circumference of the mirror disk, and a sphinx keeps watch at the top. The selection of motifs is conventional.
