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 survive with their original case, but this , together with its mate (acc. no. 17.190.246), represents a rare fitted pair.
