The Herodiade convex mirror is unusual in that the frame itself has a convex shape. I was required to snip the Venetian glass rods into sections to fit the curve. The results have a fractured dazzle that is unique. Gold, gray, straw and clear rods are placed over a silver leafed surface. The inner frame is studded with clear cabochons.
The Herodiade convex mirror is around 20 inches in diameter. It resides in my studio pending being shipped to one of my showrooms.

The Herodiade convex mirror is named for one of the most odious characters in biblical lore. She was the mother of Salome. She asked Salome to dance sensually for her husband Herod in exchange for the head of John the Baptist.
