The mirror is photographer against a grey background. Full description of the mirror is in the next post in the thread.
A new year invites resolutions and self-discovery. Our #ImageOfTheMonth takes the mirror as a symbol of self-reflection, in which we can all look back on our accomplishments over the past year. Our example, a 5th-century Argive bronze mirror, is remarkable for its sculptural qualities /1
