Church Mirror Small Gold with Feather Detail

Beauty's Smile

'Beauty is truth's smile when she beholds her own face in a perfect mirror. ' -Rabindranath Tagore

 

Whenever I get to travel, churches are the places I always love to go in to. The serene atmosphere, the grandeur in most cases, and the scent of myrre. Sometimes there are astonishing displays of flowers, a choir practising or an army of chandeliers hanging above. You never know what to expect when you open those heavy doors and that is what is so fascinating. Because every church, cathedral and chapel is different. From the quaint or forlorn to the ostentatious. And from a church comes this magnificent mirror. Again from Italy and the main mirror from an original set of three (two smaller ones left an right and housing Hebrew Latin texts).  This little beauty is from Italy and has wonderful feather detailing and opulent decoration around the edges.
