A dark, matte bronze mirror mottled with patches of light brown earthy residue features a central raised knob from which four pointed leaf shapes radiate within a thin circle. A surrounding wide band is filled with numerous thin lines that fan out toward the perimeter. The mirror is finished with a thick, raised rim containing small, repeating notched segments along the outer edge, creating a highly symmetrical, geometric design.
