Description: | Convex cast copper alloy disc which formed one half of a medieval mirror case. Pierced single lug on one side (broken), pair of lugs on the other. Decorated with the outline of a crude, rounded open cross in double lines of punched triangles. A pair of similarly punched lines run diametrically between the lugs from side to side. A yellow coating on the inside surface of the disc is likley to be the cement (calcim carbonate according to analysis - Bayley, J. et al 'A Medieval Mirror from Heybridge, Essex', Exhibits in Ballots 2, in Antiquaries Journal 64, part 2, 399-402).For comparable examples see Egan and Pritchard 1991, 1714-1716.
