Mirror made of walnut wood that presents an ornamentation with certosine inlay with different materials. It is a type of decoration that the monks certosini developed in small objects inspired by Mudejar currents, coming to prosper in a commercial way aesthetically, at the end of the Middle Ages in northern Italy. These ivory, bone and boxwood elements are arranged with a geometric character in which one can appreciate the influence of Mudejar art adopted by the commercial exchanges of northern Italy.
