A BRONZE MIRROR WITH A HUNTING SCENE

Bronze rectangular mirror with a protruding rim band decorated with a wave-like décor. The central plastic handle is created by the sculpture of a fantastic animal with four legs and a short tail. The handle is encircled by an image of a hunting scene in a landscape schematically depicted by plants and highly stylized mountains. The main part of the décor consists of four regularly arranged riders on horses, two of them shooting with bows with their heads turned backwards. Among the riders we find four fleeing animals (a doe, hare, wild boar, and perhaps a bear).
