Mirror Case
Unknown
ca. 1350 · Elephant ivory · Medieval Art
Ivory mirror cases were usually carved in pairs to protect a polished metal disk within and then placed within a leather case. None survives with their original case, but this, together with its mate (17.190.247), represents a rare fitted pair.
