Description   

The integration of three-dimensional figures into the design of functional objects is a hallmark of Greek art. A variety of elements - human, animal and mythological - are combined to animate this mirror disk. A statuette of woman standing on a base supports the mirror. Her serious expression and quiet stance are typical of the restrained early classical statues that were created between 450-425 B.C. Two winged erotes hover about her hear. A hound chases a hare up either side of the disk. A siren, part bird ant part woman, perches on the top.
