Fans of MATL (Matilde Eugenia Poulat) I think this is a real find! And best described by the eBay seller masv29:

“This is a magnificent mirror worked with applied wire and embossing…has sixteen turquoise beads and six pyramidal amethysts in its composition.

This piece has an oval mirror in the middle of it surrounded by torched wire. It is set over a silver frame that has in the upper part two doves facing each other and separated by a pyramidal amethyst. These birds have a turquoise bead simulating the eye. They have on top of them a line made of four turquoise beads and a spiral wire and silver beads. The rest of the frame has four spiral wires with pierced parts and the rest of the stones are set symmetrically all over it. It has all around it silver beads. The handle is made with a repousse drop-shaped piece surrounded by a silver wire that finishes in spirals on both ends. It is a really complex but beautiful composition; full of movement and details.”
