This analysis was done by another group because we couldn’t find our recording. The one thing that is common is that all three commenters only focused on the physical likeness of the art and did not ask too many questions about why the mirror may have been made or the context about the art or artist. The wonderful thing about this piece of art is its title. Iago’s Mirror is a direct reference to Shakespeare’s character Iago, explaining the sinister qualities of the mirror, especially its obsidian and sharp edges. One thing that interested me about this mirror is the design around the mirror. The mirror itself is very small, but the borders are not only wide, but also very decorated. This gives the mirror a fierce look, but I am curious as to why the artist included such intricate designs since it makes the mirror less practical?
