Eye is a wizarding mirror with apotropaic functions offering a vision towards other dimensions of reality.

Its almond-shaped ceramic frame is pierced with an oculus where a convex mirror is crimped. The transverse axis separates the shell into two enamelled areas of different colors.

The mirror then becomes a neutral retinal frame of reference where a phantom color appears as a result of the optical phenomenon of simultaneous contrast.
