Inspired by a mermaid sculpture from Hungarian folklore, this 19th-century motif was an embellishment on a mirror box.
Mirrors became very common in the first half of the 19th century and were an important accessory in the lives of shepherds, who shaved according to the customs of the time.
The shape of the mirror box was adapted to its use; they were kept in small wooden boxes that were carefully scratched, carved, engraved, and painted.
