Circular mirror with two angels
Louvre MuseumCircular mirror with two angels
Mirror
Around 460 B.C.
Prov. Hermione (Peloponnese) (?)
Northeastern Peloponnese Style
The figures of Eros were originally to converge.
There is no clue to define the exact location of the
elements that decorated the rim of the disc.
The association of a mirror and a vase is exceptional. It is however ensured by the presence of small rings between the legs of the hares.
Acquired 1890
Miroir
Vers 460 avant J.C.
Prov. Hermione (Péloponnèse) (?)
Style du Nord-Est du Péloponnèse
Les figures d'Eros devaient converger à l'origine.
Aucun indice ne permet de définir l'emplacement exact des
éléments qui décoraient le rebord du disque.
L'association d'un miroir et d'un vase est exceptionnelle. Elle est cependant assurée par la présence de petits anneaux entre les pattes des lièvres.
Acquisition 1890
