Mirror (Primary Title)
Unknown (Artist)
One side of this mirror was polished to create a highly reflective surface while the other was incised with a winged female figure. Though the figure is clothed, the engraver has also shown the outline of her body, including an ornament encircling her thigh. This mirror originally was inserted into a handle made separately, perhaps of wood or bone.
