Description: | A fragment of a copper-alloy mirror case, the fragment is of one of the convex cast discs, each disc was originally circular in shape, this fragment is 28.43mm in diameter. There is a projection from one edge which is probably the remains of the pin lugs. On the hollow back face traces of solder which held the now missing mirror in place can be seen. The outer face of this mirror case is decorated with a crude double lines of punched opposed triangles. Similar cases have been found in London of an identical size and with decoration, indeed these mirrors may have been mass produced and are medieval in date (Egan and Pritchard, 1991, 361-362, fig 241).
