I've heard that convex mirrors are supposed to bring you luck. My mom found me this one a couple of years ago. I have it hanging right by the front door so I can glance at the room before I leave. Back in the day when I was taking an Art History course, I remember discussing the details of the convex mirror in The Arnolfini Portrait by Jan van Eyck. This painting is full of unbelievable details and symbolism, and considered one of the most complex paintings in Western art history.
