During the 19th century, Sicily experienced a flourishing of folk art, especially in rural areas where everyday objects were imbued with strong emotional symbolism. This is a small wall mirror with an organic shape reminiscent of a stylized pomegranate or an inverted heart, both connoting symbols of fertility, love, or spirituality. Its frame displays hand-painted decorative touches, including initials and a floral or heraldic motif.
