Mirror, 'Earth Octagon Flower'

Edmundo Contreras crafts a mirror of sublime beauty to reflect the legendary art of Peru's Colonial era. Shaped like a flowery octagon, the mirror's rich brown petals crown burnished ochre and mottled cream panels. Blossoming medallions distinguish each layer, all edged in gilt. A master in the art of reverse glass painting, Contreras executes each magnificent composition by hand.
