Ivory Mirror Case in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, December 2008

Ivory Mirror Case in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, December 2008
Ivory Mirror Case
Carved in France, about 1350

Accession # 17.190.246, -.247

Ivory mirror cases were usually carved in pairs to protect a polished metal disk within. Few pairs survive today, and none with its original protective leather case.

Text from the Metropolitan Museum of Art label.
