A miniature work of Silk Road art for your everyday ritual. Inspired by the legendary murals of the Mogao Caves in Dunhuang, this decorative Chinese pocket mirror brings the beauty of feitian (飞天), or celestial flying apsaras, into a practical accessory you can carry anywhere.
Graceful apsaras appear to circle a radiant lotus medallion, surrounded by flowing ribbons, blossoms, auspicious cloud motifs, and richly coloured details. The raised relief design gives the mirror a sculptural quality, while the gold-toned circular border adds an elegant finishing touch. Choose Rose for a soft, romantic look or Azure for a serene sky-inspired style.
