Espejo con soporte en forma de mujer vestida con un peplo

mid-5th century BCE
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 156
La integración de figuras tridimensionales en el diseño de objetos funcionales es una característica del arte griego. Diversos elementos—humanos, animales y mitológicos—decoran este espejo. Una estatuilla de mujer, de pie sobre una base, soporta el disco del espejo. Su simple peplo de lana cae en pliegues columnares. Dos erotes alados (dioses del amor) revolotean alrededor de su cabeza. A cada lado del disco, un perro persigue a una liebre; la figura sedente de una sirena, mitad pájaro y mitad mujer, remata la composición.
