Miroir sur support à l'effigie d'une femme drapée

mid-5th century BCE
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 156
L’intégration de figures tridimensionnelles aux objets fonctionnels est typique de l’art grec. Ce miroir est agrémenté d’éléments variés — êtres humains, animaux et personnages mythologiques —, dont une statuette de femme qui sert de support au disque. Son peplos en laine, tout simple, retombe en plis et semble dessiner une colonne cannelée. Deux érotes (dieux de l’amour) volent autour de sa tête. De chaque côté du disque, un chien chasse un lièvre. Une sirène, mi-oiseau mi-femme, domine l’ensemble.
