mirror reflection
Reversed silvered image
A mirror reflection is the image produced when light bounces off a reflective surface, showing objects reversed left to right.
The term extends to anything that closely resembles or represents something else: Her anxiety was a mirror reflection of her mother's.
In figurative use, it suggests both accurate reproduction and subtle inversion.
