    Description

    This George II Chinese export reverse glass painted mirror depicting a portrait of a Chinese lady seated by a window under a blue curtain, holding a ruyi sceptre in her hand, wearing a red robe with embroidered hems and a blue stole, her hair adorned with an elaborate hairdress, mounted in original shaped walnut frame.
    The Ruyi sceptre that she is holding is a Chinese curved decorative object that serves as either a ceremonial scepter in Chinese Buddhism or a talisman symbolizing power and good fortune.
