Notes
The large rectangular beveled mirror is housed in a white painted wooden frame with carved ivory inlay around the front of the mirror. The ivory is carved with linear bands of lotus shapes, where the petals at the end and center connect with each other. The vertical pegs have a cube in the center with a dragon-headed peg used to hold the mirror in place. The legs at both ends extend forward and backward in the shape of a curved animal with tiger heads, feathered bodies, and clawed feet on ivory foundries.
