Specialist note

The octagonal form of this mirror reveals a strong Moorish cultural influence. Geometric concentric and interlaced design was popular throughout the Islamic world from the 12th Century onwards. With its spreading bands of plates, the form reveals the Moorish love of multiplicity and play of light.
