Greek Mirror in the Walters Art Museum, September 2009
Mirror with a Bathing Maiden
Creator: Greek (Artist)
Period: 3rd century BC (Hellenistic)
Medium: engraved bronze, repoussé silver backed with paste (Metal)
Accession Number: 54.1169
Measurements: top: 15/16 x 5 in. (2.5 x 12.7 cm) (d. x diam.) bottom: 1/2 x 4 13/16 in. (1.2 x 12.3 cm) (d. x diam.)
Geographies: Greece (Place of Origin)
The most popular type of mirror in the Hellenistic period was of "clamshell" form, much like the modern compact. The polished mirror disk was protected by a hinged lid, decorated with figures in relief on the exterior and, not uncommonly, with a scene engraved on its underside. Appearing on the inside lid of this mirror is a tranquil scene with a nude maiden, perhaps Aphrodite or a nymph, bathing in a rocky grotto.
