Mirror with cabochon frame. Silver, enamel, wood, stucco, etc. Mexican school, 17th century. No contrast markings. It has flaws. Mirror with a slightly rectangular frame made of wood with polychrome areas and a repoussé silver plating over stucco, enhanced with enamel cabochons featuring geometric elements in dark and light blue. The front features a series of plain moldings, one of which bears the aforementioned polychromy. The silver band extends around the exterior of the piece, with exposed wood at the corners and plain silver bands (two on each side), and a somewhat three-dimensional decoration combining architectural elements of clear classical influence (in the center of which are the enamel cabochons), flanked in the longer areas by compositions with scrolls, volutes, plant motifs, and fruit. Stylistically speaking, the work can be linked to pieces using the same technique produced in Mexico, primarily reliquaries. Also, as is common due to the influence of the Iberian Peninsula, one might recall works such as the 17th-century Holy Thursday Reliquary from Barbastro. Weight: 5.7 kg.
