專家說明

Graham Reynolds discusses the origins of mica sets in The Sixteenth and Seventeenth-Century Miniatures in the Collection of Her Majesty The Queen, London, 1999, pp. 294-299. Designed for entertainment, micas come from a naturally occuring mineral that can be cleft in thin, transparent sheets or laminae.
